By now you’re all probably off with your family eating gingerbread and tearing into some presents but we just wanted to share the holiday card we whipped up for our loved ones (since you’re all on our virtual mailing list). We wish you guys a very happy and sweet holiday with the ones you love. And speaking of love, we adore every last one of you for dropping in to see what we’re up to over here at Casa Petersik. Your support and encouragement never fail to put smiles on our faces each and every day, and we’re full of gratitude for the amazing year we’ve been fortunate enough to share with all of you.
So don’t forget to enjoy some eggnog for me (thanks to the bean it’s off limits this year) while you celebrate the best part of having a place to call home: sharing it with the ones you love. Here’s to many more adventures (and misadventures) in 2010!
Psst- Wanna see our favorite holiday card of all time? It’s actually the first one we made from ’07.
Update: You can check out all of our favorite holiday decor finds here – many of which are under $15!

Bria M. says

Ann says
Love it! Merry Christmas!
Alisa D says
Merry Christmas to you guys! Oh, and I was pregnant last Christmas and learned that the eggnog in a carton is pasteurized, so you can have that kind… just in case you start craving it or something. ;)
Many blessings for 2010!
YoungHouseLove says
Alisa D- Oooh, so good to know! I never want anything until I’m told I can’t have it (especially sushi!).
Kristin J- Good eye! We added the letters on each of our stockings in Photoshop along with the word “Reserved” on the sign (but in real life we hung a blank sign so we could add the word later on the computer). Hope it helps!
xo,

Donna says
HA! Love Burger the red-nosed chihuahua. That made me laugh out loud. Merry Christmas!
Kristin J. says
I love your card…so simple, yet so meaningful and personal. Where did the letters on your stockings and the reserved sign come from? Is that a Photoshop specialty? I think I may need to invest in photoshop, all your stuff is so cute!
Barbara says
BUON NATALE!
Jillian says
Merry Christmas to you, Youngsters! Your blog always makes my day.

Layla & Kevin :-)
Molly says
What a cute card! I can’t wait to see what your blog will bring in 2010. We found out we’re expecting another little boy and I am drawing an absolute blank on another boy idea for the nursery.
Laura says
One of the best parts of my hectic day is when I get to sit down and be inspired by you via your blog.
Next year will be even sweeter for your little family when you start new traditions with the baby.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Laura
Lesley says
Your ’07 card is my favorite of all time. I tried to do that with a pic of my dog last year but it was terrible. My photoshop skills are doody. Even this year I was saying how I wish I could do what you did. The fake antlers on my dog just don’t have the same effect.
LauraJane says
Love the card- soo cute. Merry Christmas to your little family!
Meg says
Sherry,
You may want to try Silk’s (soymilk) nog!
Merry Christmas!
YoungHouseLove says
Mmmm, thanks Meg. Sounds delish!

Polina says
Have a great holiday, guys! Awesome card. Thank you for keeping us entertained and inspired with your wonderful blog.
Sherry says
Merry Christmas, you guys! I actually just found out yesterday about your baby news! It’s been a while since I’ve visited the site, since I’ve been preparing for my first baby too! We found out in June that we were preg. I came to the site yesterday to see if I could get some DIY tips on hanging a chandelier in the baby’s room, and noticed Sherry’s baby bump! Too funny! Congrats!
Diana says
Merry Christmas to all four Petersiks!!!
That is toooo adorable of a Christmas card; love it!!!! : )

Anne says
What a gorgeous card! Merry Christmas! Sherry, you’ll have to time the next bean so you can enjoy ALL the festivities next time!
Erin says
Hi YHL! Just wanted to say how much your blog has meant to me this year (especially this fall). Our own little bean (actually baby #2) was born in August and at birth was diagnosed with a rare heart defect that kept her and us in the hospital until the end of November. As I sat in a hospital room, watching my girlie recover from two open heart surgeries, I plotted, planned and sketched out my dreams for our house (purchased just weeks before her arrival and sitting empty those 3 months we stayed at the hospital). To keep my mind off the scary stuff we were going through, I planned our home and future- especially her nursery and I read through all your blog entries for inspiration. Can’t tell you how much it meant to me to have a regularly and frequently updated blog to read when I needed a moment to escape my daily reality. This is a GREAT holiday season home and I can’t wait to dive into remodeling and decorating now that we’re all home together. Thanks for all the inspiration throughout the year! Best wishes!
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks so much Erin! What an amazing story. We’re so glad to hear that you’re all home together to celebrate the holidays. And we hope you have fun renovating and decorating up a storm after all that you’ve been through!
Lots of love,
Sherry & John
JJ says
I love your blog, you’re so creative! Hope you’re enjoying the Christmas holidays.
Jan's camera says
I love, love, love that Christmas card. Thank you both for such an enjoyable year. Your entries are so entertaining, helpful and very creative. Happy New Year to you all.
