WELCOME TO OUR HOME!
Not much decoration outside, but our front porch has a little Christmas spirit! I love these pre-lit trees in urns -- after-Christmas bargain last year!
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.....Our mantle and fireplace (not lit in this pic)....I fixed the poinsettias so that they are now in coordinating pots. Take note to our tree topper (the star) on the right -- it worked with our tree last year but it's too heavy for our new tree...maybe I'll catch another after-Christmas sale!
Our tree -- also a bargain last year! I love that we had done so much Christmas shopping so early this year! What a relief! The packages stacked to the right were for our Angel -- does anyone else do this? If so, isn't it the best part of Christmas shopping?!! We have more fun doing this than anything else!
This tree is fiber-optic and I got it after Christmas a few years ago at 90% off! It's fun to see the colors change and I use it to display these large word ornaments. (Please excuse the box under the table -- I'm keeping all wrapping paper, tissue, boxes, etc in here so it's easily accessible for gift wrapping)
I fell in love with this tree skirt last year, so I waited until the day after Christmas and scored a deal! You can't see the details, but it is red, green, white & silver. However, this little portion peeking out from the gifts is all that's visible now. It's bitter-sweet because I'm sad I can't see the skirt, but so thrilled that we did gift buying to early!
Josh added some humor to some of the gift tags -- I enjoyed the surprise...the one is for his little brother!
Christmas cards are one of my favorite things during the season!
That's all I have pictures of. We enjoy simply decorating our home for Christmas, but we're not into making it extravagant. Hopefully you enjoyed the quick tour -- now come on and visit! :)

We wish you a Merry Christmas.....and a Happy New Year!!!
