We had a dinner party early in the month and became motivated to get up our Christmas decorations. We have quite a collection, and weren't even able to put everything out. Having our house festive is such a lift to my spirits! When things are getting out of hand with shopping and work and homemade gifts, it helps remind me of what this season is all about. These are just a few of my favorite spots in the house...



Our banister - lights up at night for extra festiveness!


Our entry table - the reindeer were a post-Christmas Target score - Love that place!


The mantel - the Homer's talk and one of them dances! Classy Christmas decorations!!




We have inherited nativities from both sides of the family - I need more places to put them all out!

And last but not least, of course there is the tree!
