Christmas decorations around my house...

I'd like to give you a little house tour of some of my Christmas decorations...
Let's begin!
Living room tree with all glass ornaments...



During the day...


Plus a few close up shots...
Lots and lots!

Poinsettia, Santa and Hula girl,

Car with surf board on top...


Fancy burlap cloth for tree skirt and presents from my sister already in place!




I put apothecary jars on the sofa table and the candle holders from the church tea.




At night...

Above the jars, is my mirror with Christmas cards, clothes pinned on the garland. My lighted houses are from my mother in law -and I just set them up in a row. It looks like a cityscape at night.
another angle...


My garland up in the living room windows.


Nutcrackers I've found over the years...
On top of the entertainment center...





old and new -real inexpensive.

In my kitchen, some cedar, huckleberry and pine clippings in a vase... reminds me of home in Oregon! Smells great!

Some more apothecary jars on my kitchen counter with Oregon pine cones, ornaments and a silver branch.





In my dining room, I use all the non breakable glass ornaments Ive received or bought throughout the years....on another artificial tree.



Hard to see them during the day...


Kmart ornament -Country Living Brand.

tin horse...

tin dog...

Some more!


...Nativity scene up on my hutch in the dining room...however next year I plan to put it on the living room sofa table and to put baby Jesus out on Christmas morning.

Nighttime!


End of our hallway- mirror with the gold letter "B" for our last name, or "Believe" whichever you prefer!
P.S. Letter from my sister, mirror was pulled from a dumpster, at my hubby's work site. Score!


The boys tree...

Lots of shatter proof ornaments on it and a few airplanes and cars from Pier 1.

Sawyer loves this on at night.

Lily Girl's tree....


Top of tree...


Love these fake snow balls I got last year 75% off!




Her bookcase-found these Breyer deers for her- $3.25!




I put this little Christmas tree in the kids' bathroom...


It reminds me of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Outside our house-Christmas lights!!


On our lanai, I have an old 40's Santa and a Santa boot with vintage holly leaves.

I put an artificial tree out on the buffet table and used some 80's glass ornaments.


Here's another little retro Santa on my lanai table with a candle and a wreath...

I still have to put lights on the tree in our bedroom, and then put the handmade ornaments on it.
I shall post pics soon!
