Decorating for Christmas and the Holiday Inn Tours

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

Flowers and greens are the core of our Christmas decorations.

The first weekend of the Manchester Merriment Holiday Inn Tour (go to visitmanchestervt.com for information on the December 8 tour and other events) was a resounding success here at Ormsby Hill. I’m sure our Christmas cookies, made by Candi and Courtney were the most spectacular in town.

Gingerbread men and mittens

We had visitors from Manchester and neighboring towns as well as out of state guests of nearby inns. The weather added to the holiday spirit, with a gentle snow fall. Scott McCampbell (scubamcc@yahoo.com) was playing sensational jazz guitar, and Taylor Farm (www.taylorfarmvermont.com) brought cheese and artisinal goods from their farm, as well as other local sources.

Scott will be back with us next Saturday, and we hope Taylor Farm can make it back, too. Come taste some Vermont wine, eat some cookies, or just to say hi. Then, explore the other inns on tour, and you might as well do some shopping while you’re in town!

More Holiday Happenings

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Today I arranged our holiday arrangements for the tables in readiness for our guests arriving Christmas Eve.

Arrangements at the Ready

For the first time, last evening I went to a gingerbread house-making party.   I will tell you that I am artistically challenged.  All I really wanted to accomplish was the roof – which I think came out pretty cool.  The rest, well you be the judge!!!!!!!!!

Chris's Version of Gingerbread House!!

P.S.  Those are trees with icing and a stone wall (just in case you couldn’t figure out what on earth they were)!!

Front Door

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

In a manner of hours, we went from our front door being decorated for summer into glorious fall.

After a very rainy yesterday – and yes, we desperately needed the rain – it is absolutely a gorgeous fall day today and the forecast for the week is fabulous.  Cool evenings, warm days, color in them there hills – what more could you ask for – Fall In Vermont!!!!!!!!!!
