I thought it was time to give you a little tour of Christmas decorations around our house.
We'll start outside.
A wreath and some snow are decorating our gate to the back yard.
This is the dining room. We have a skinny little tree in the corner that just has white lights on it. I usually leave that one up through January since it doesn't have ornaments and brings some cheer on dark winter days. Do you see the little star banner hanging behind the table? It says joy and was sent to me quite a few years ago from Connie at Crafty Home Cottage.
Hanging over the table is this mistletoe ball. It was given to me by a patient at least 10 years ago. I love how so many Christmas decorations bring back memories of special people.
Speaking of special people, our card rack is next to the dining room and filled with greetings from special people - including some of you!
This is the table our tv sits on. You may recognize the reindeer as it's the one Bob just made with Alaina and Ruby.
This is a toddler friendly Nativity. Some years ago I was a MOPS (Mother of Pre-schoolers) leader and we made these.
We don't have a mantle, so this is where the stockings hang. I have stockings for everyone, but it got too heavy, so now I just hang them for the grandkids.
And here's the tree! It's not real big. We chose one that's 6 1/2 feet tall, and not too wide since our living room isn't very big. It's easier to decorate too!
Tomorrow I'll share a few special decorations and ornaments with you.

Well, I see you are ready for Christmas. I love that you have some decorations everywhere - very pretty - but not overwhelming. Love the thin tree in the kitchen. Even your gifts are wrapped. I guess you will keep the snow for a while??
We have similar tastes in decorating. It’s truly beautiful and tasteful. I love it.
