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!

    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!

    I have some of those very same vintage ornaments, Maureen. I love them. What a great nutcracker collection.
    The quilt hanging behind your Willow Tree nativity is a lovely touch.
    Your home looks cozy and inviting. Thanks for sharing it.

    It's all just beautiful; I couldn't pick a favorite photo. I love how you have accented with your quilts. I'm with the other girls, and if they will pick me up on the way I'll bring the cocoa and cookies. Happy New Year to you!
