It's looking like Christmas!

 Welcome to our home!  I thought I would show you around so you could see what Christmas looks like in our house.



This is the back door, from the garage into the house.  The black milk can is from my Dad's farm, many years ago!  I put a different sign in it for every season.


On the front porch is this porch pot.  I also have 2 small trees by the front door that light up at night.




And this big snowflake near the roof.




In the living room is this mini nativity that I made when I was helping with our local MOPS group.




And this on another side table.




We don't have a fireplace so our stockings are hung on a shelf!




Our Christmas tree is a skinny one, since our living room is not real big.




One more table in the living room.





Here's the dining room.  We have a little tree in the corner with just lights on it.  It adds such a cheery note to the room.  The little Joy banner under the clock was a gift from Connie of Crafty Home Cottage.






And here is our card holder.  There are some there from some of you!




There are even some decorations in our bathroom.







And last, but not least is our downstairs family room.  This is Bob's family's nativity set which came to us when his Mom passed away.



One more tree - just a little one.

Tomorrow I'll show you some of the decorations that are special to me.

  1. I love everything, it is all so beautifully arranged! Your skinny tree is fabulous!!! Tt is every bit as gorgeous as a fat tree, because it has an elegance about it. Your shelf has turned into a mantel for the season! Love what you've done with the tiered tray!

  3. Hi Deb, I enjoyed all your pictures. That is so special how you inherited that Nativity. I have one my parents that they gave us that is special. We did not put it up this year but we did last year. I have many Nativity sets so I rotate them. Enjoy your week. Your card goes out tomorrow!

  5. The warmth of wood accenting your silver & gold (the stockings are 'gold') throughout creates an elegant atmosphere!!

  9. It all looks beautiful! I love your card holder! I used to have one that hung from my fireplace but I don't have it anymore (or the fireplace!) I stopped sending cards a long time ago so I don't get but one or two each year.

  15. Your decorations are lovely and have such special meaning. I love the "tags" on your stockings. I bought some of those last year but didn't use them. Guess what I'm going to do with them now? Bob's Santa carvings are beautiful and so unique... such a talent!

  16. Your house is so beautiful, Mari! And I love your style. I would love to redecorate again sometime, but somehow I always seem to do things on the tail end of what's "in." If I switch to the light grays and whites now, they'll probably go out of style next year, hahaha!

  17. I love all your decor. It's perfect and the lights just make everything sparkle. My mom gave me a similar nativity set as the one passed down to you. I think that makes it even more special.
