The first stop on our holiday tour is the little nativity scene that my grandmother gave me several Christmases ago. This is, after all, the reason we celebrate! I love the "uniqueness" of this little set... it is all in one piece, and love the soft glow. I have another one with "moveable" figures that the children love, but this one is MY favorite!
Here is our Christmas tree... I have alot of ornaments that I did not put on the tree this year, because I was trying to keep it in the "red, green, gold" color scheme.... now if I could just get the kiddos to leave it alone? Nevermind, I think that is next to impossible!
Next stop is our mantle! I found the big glittery snowflake in a cute little shop this fall and fell in love with it... I like what it added to the mirror! The pretty glittery red trees were a gift from my mama (who has great taste, if I do say so myself!) The ornaments hanging from the garland are red and gold... to tie in both colors. And, of course, Santa stands guard by the chimney. Aren't his skinny little legs TOO cute??
Above is the kid's Christmas pic with Santa this year. My secret to no screams?? They are both holding candy canes... shhhh!Mom found this cutie pie tray while on vacation this fall, and I thought it was perfect for displaying these gorgeous antique red glasses
And these 2 little angels? (Well, MOST of the time) Only my 2 favorite Christmas presents ever! Why, yes, those ARE the pajamas I made (the ones that made me think all those ugly thougts toward my sweet lil' ol sewing machine?) Yes, the very ones. They did turn out sweet, I must admit. The things we do for these young'uns (to quote my mother, EXACTLY!)
And last but not least... our front door! Perhaps I should have put that first??
Thanks for visiting, y'all... Hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and a joyous and Happy New Year!
Happy Friday and
Much Love,

Your home is lovely- and the kids are adorable!!
Everything is so lovely. Your mantle especially caught my eye. I love your blog and visit often. I thought I'd come out of lurkdom and post here. Merry Christmas.
I just had to come return your visit, especially since you're my neighbor to the South. :)
Beautiful Christmas decorations! I especially love your tree. As I was telling another blogger, I like really fat Christmas trees the best, and yours is pleasantly plump!
And what cutie pies in their Santa jammies!
Merry Christmas and thanks for having us over. :)
Your home is just beautiful! I love the picture of your two cute little angels! Your tree is gorgeous, and I love the nativity scene that your Grandma gave you! :)

Thanks for sharing!
Jennifer, I am so HAPPY I can FINALLY post. I switched to Beta so hopefully that will work out all the kinks! I love how you have decorated your lovely home for Christmas. The nativity from your grandmother is just beautiful and I love how you added the snowflake to the mirror and the colored balls to the garland! The best part? Those two little "sweeties" wearing their Christmas jammies that their Mama made! Just priceless:)
I promise that I could walk into your house and would know exactly where you keep the glasses in your kitchen. Such a beautiful Southern home...you are a girl after my own heart.
And that nativity scene that your grandmother gave you? Gorgeous.
Merry Christmas!
