My humble home with some Christmas thrown in.

So I'm a holiday decorating junkie. Yes. I'll admit it. I love to decorate for the holidays, especially Christmas. (Probably why I have the most decorations for this holiday!)



Anyway, here are some of my favorite parts of my home decorated especially for Christmas.


This morning I'm feeling extra Christmasy since we're sportin' a 2 hour delay. YEAH! (Did I really just scream that out loud?)


So, here goes...



Probably my favorite decoration evah....the tree. This year I put it in the part of our living room that just doesn't make sense. It's supposed to be the bar area where two bar stools would reside (I can just see my kids eating their breakfast there now), but I cannot find bar stools tall enough to be here. (Ah, the joys of a house already built before it was ours...) Anyway, this little alcove fits our tree and presents perfectly. I'll use this space again for sure next Christmas.

These suitcases, (a goodwill find YEARS ago) hold our DVD's, and are the perfect spot for these decorations.

Of course I have to decorate my picture ledge in the dining room as well....why not, it's a space dying for some Christmas cheer.

I always put lighted garland on the stairway, and the kids like to use that for their hallway nightlite for the winter. This year, I added the vintage wreath I got at a garage sale a couple years ago. First time I've ever hung something on that part of my stairway wall. I like it. Maybe I'll make something to hang there year round. (hmmm.....I'm thinking)

Speaking of the stairway...at the bottom, or at the beginning, whichever way you happen to start is this pair of mittens. I can't remember if I ever wore them myself, but they are filled with winteryness (is this a word?)

What are your favorite Christmas decorations????
