Christmas Decorations

I've so enjoyed seeing your holiday decorations in blogland so I decided to do my own holiday home tour. My DH took the photos for me. He sweetly said the problems I was having with my DSLR camera were not due to my abilities. It was a hand me down from him and he said he always had problems with it too.

Click to enlarge. Enjoy!


It's a fake tree. My son is allergic to the real thing.

This ornament came from my grandmother. 

I remember this ornament on the tree when I was a kid.
This one too-

My mom gave me this one a few years ago.




Love that these old ceramic trees are making a comeback. 

Happy Christmas!

  1. Oh I love vintage ornaments! You have some really nice ones! Your tree is beautiful... so full of shiny decorations. What a lovely quilt hanging behind your nativity set... like they were made for each other. Have a wonderful Christmas celebration!
