Deck the Halls 2015
This is my favorite time of year to decorate my home. Christmas decorations are so full of warmth and joy.
I keep saying as soon as all my wrapping paper is gone I’m switching to brown paper only but so far that has not happened. I love wrapping gifts and seeing them displayed under our tree. Of course Dutch Buddy has already opened one so we will see how long this last.
My friend Kelli and her husband made this great card holder for me for my birthday and I can hardly wait to see it filled with cards with each day that passes.
I collected snow globes for quite some time and I only have a few left. Storing them in the attic several years took their tole and I just haven’t run across any I absolutely love. These are two of my very favorites and I am trying to give them lots of tender love and care.
Several years back I was a Southern Living at Home consultant and these stockings were one of my very favorite purchases. I still love them so much. They are all identical except for the monogramming which I changed slightly for each.
I really love the way it all came together. I didn’t add too many new decorations this year but somehow it always looks just a little different as I pull it together.
I actually kept things a little simpler this year and added just a few touches to the bookcase. I love my nativity scene. My Mamaw gifted it to me about 4 years ago and it is always one of my favorite things to pull out.
It was really hard to photograph my entry hall this year for some reason. I really think an external flash is going onto my Christmas list.
I created a little hot chocolate station in the kitchen and the kids have already depleted the marshmallows once.
And I added just a couple of simple touches in our bedroom with these snowflake pillows on sale from Target and a simple potted, lit tree. The bench I grabbed for less than $100 at Target has really been a great touch. This room is so darn close to being finished….hopefully soon!
Last season I picked up this tall skinny tree from Hobby Lobby during the after Christmas sale. I let my little Miss pick out all the ornaments and she decorated the entire tree herself. I was so impressed with how it turned out.
And what’s better Christmas decor than and adorable puppy!!
My most favorite is the tree at the end of the day when the house is totally quiet and the lights are twinkling. It’s almost as if I can hear old St. Nick whisper Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.
