A little Christmas Tour
The Entry:
A Christmas village which my daughters always enjoy setting up.
With a tiny nativity scene
The Duke who was kind enough to pose for me.
The Tree
It's always real because I like how it smells.
We chose a simple red and silver theme this year. You can imagine I have a really lot of hand made ornaments from when the kids were little ( 6 kids) but this year we decided not to put them up. Something different. Mary and I chose something more simple we went with all the red and silver things we had and many are from long ago, some the last few years.
I love the simple silver beaded garland
The Mantel
inspired by a picture in Southern Living magazine for Debbie-doos Holiday copy cat challenge,

hereThe Nativity
Now set up on that table to the right of the mantel.
I gave the Nativity it's own table this year next to the mantel.
This gave me more room to create the clouds with snow and lights behind for a heavenly appearance.
My mom gave me this set purchased from Avon some thirty years ago.
I love how they are all porcelain white figures.
The angels I purchased about 10 years ago, at a dollar store.
They are porcelain too and go perfectly with it.
A bit of Christmas bling in the Family Room
The kitchen gets a tiny bit of Christmas. The very little houses are really vintage, they were my moms.
I used to love to set them up as a kid.
And the Dining Room, which was the first room to get dressed and I posted about that
here.
I still have a few lighted garlands to put up on the steps and doorways.
For the most part it's pretty simple this year.
I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Holiday!
