I thought I’d take you on a little tour of some of the Christmas decorations around my house. Just a few, don’t want to bore you. I tried to keep it simple this year with fresh boughs and minimal clutter. I have a lovely and very extensive collection of Santas that are not making an appearance this year. Once in awhile you have to change up tradition.
Here is the (or was) the view out my dining room window a week ago after our lovely snow (which is pretty much gone now thanks to the rain we had on Sunday). I know it’s not current, but I like the photo. Note: you can see the lighted garland around the doorway into the sun room reflected in the window.
A welcoming and cozy front entry.
Fresh boughs, white lights, and a whimsical sleigh and reindeer on the dining room sideboard.
The living room.
The bears we bought during the Autumn Light Festival here in town (like a big street fair). They are really supposed to be a foot stool, but I decided to make them focus of our side table in the living room.
Take a closer look and see how cute they are!
As for the snow part of this entry, well, we shall see. Right now we are under a winter storm watch with around 6-8 inches predicted. Truth is, they really don’t know what this storm is going to do until it gets closer. Right now it’s looking pretty good for some white stuff on the ground for Christmas. Snow totals will probably be higher around New York City and not as much “up North” where we live. I’m hoping to get snowed in but that probably won’t happen. I’d be happy with just some new snow. Wish along with me, will you? Thanks!
