Christmas Decor Makes Me Happy

December 8, 2012

We’ve actually had almost all of our Christmas decorations up since Thanksgiving Day.  It’s one of the traditions in our house.  After we eat our Thanksgiving meal we start the decorating process.  Since then, I’ve added a few new things here and there.  I thought I’d share a few of our decor items for this year.
Our Christmas tree and village

Christmas village that my kids put out every year near the tree.  They add a new house every year.

Yes, I already put these in a previous post.  That’s because I am LOVING these sequin and glitter candles that are in the candelabra on my fireplace hearth in the tv room.

Decorated mantel by the kitchen table.  The presents light up.

If you live in Texas then you know Santa likes to wear his finest cowboy attire.
A decorated mantel in my kitchen.

It has been quite warm here in Texas.  However, a few days from now we actually have a chance of snow.  A sprinkling of snow, that is.  The Dallas area is a funny place with the weather.  It just depends  on the direction of the wind in determining the temperature.  One day we have 75 degrees and the next it could be 35 degrees.  I’m looking forward to the cold for a few days.  It feels more like Christmas when it’s actually cold.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season so far!!

    So pretty! The temps have been the same way in Kentucky lately. I’ve had the windows open the last few days and now there is a small chance of snow in the forecast but the temps are going to drop! Sending love to you and your family this Christmas!
