Deck the halls…

I’m pretty sure the house is a Christmasified as it is going to get this year.  It’s been cloudy the last few days and I’ve had a cold and don’t feel that great, so the pictures aren’t that great.  I knew I just better snap a few and post them or they will never get posted (like the fall decorations oops!)

I LOVE my tree this year!!  Every year I keep trying to get my tree to look like the one in my head, and every year I get it wrong.  I finally figured out it’s the type of tree, not the shape of it!  It makes me happy!

This pillow also makes me happy.  Isn’t it wonderful?!

I just got this cabinet and I haven’t exactly figured out what I am going to do with it, but this works for now.

I thought it would be a safe place for my ‘unassembled snowman’ he’s never really had a home before but I really like him on this platter from my fall decorations.

I also think this picture (?) is yummy.  I love penny snowmen!

I didn’t know what to put in the bottom, so I stuck my nativity set in there.  The angels wings got broken off last year so it might be a good idea to keep it behind glass this year!  Plus the kids have their own set to play with, so they really don’t need to mess with mine.

I did a ‘pretty tree’ this year, but I put some of my favorite ornaments up still including the kids first Christmas ones.

I’m not a huge fan of this, but it will have to do for now. 

**Update: This drove me crazy so I returned the ‘Merry Christmas’ and the snowflake and came up with this instead.

Ahh, MUCH better!  :0)

My stocking holder looks a little lost here, but it doesn’t really look this lonely in person.  (At least I don’t think it does.)  It needs something though… maybe I’ll tuck some greenery on there or something, humm…

I got this wall hanging years ago and got it for a steal!   I used to LOVE it, but now I’m not sure.  I still like it, but its too something… cutsey?  Oh, I don’t know.

This is the table in the foyer right by the front door, I think I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.  I put a few packs of battery lights in the garland, I really wish I had an outlet here.  It really would have made this easier!

This is just ehh, anyone have any suggestions??

 

I love this garland on my stairs! I just wish I had a newel post on the bottom so I could really show it off!  …next year.  (It better be in by next year!)

This year I put my little trees out by the front door, I rigged them with lights and they look so cute!

My wreath is the same as last year, I did add battery lights so I can light it up when people come over though.

I also Christmased this up a bit too.  I think it would look sharp with lights in it too… but I didn’t think about that till later and I don’t feel like messing with it anymore!
