Christmas Cloche

What’s a Christmas Cloche?

It’s one of the key components in my shortcut method of Christmas decorating.

Gracie Lee would tell you cloche is French for bell. Merriam-Webster defines cloche as a dome or bell-shaped cover. During the holidays, I consider a glass cloche to be an excellent way to display favorite ornaments.

I’m not putting up a big tree this year. I never thought I would be the person who didn’t rush out and buy a fresh Christmas tree. But as life changes and traditions evolve, it’s good to revisit what we think we have to do…Continue Reading
