WELCOME TO MY CHRISTMAS HOME

Welcome to my home.  I didn't do as much this year as I usually do, but I ran out of time, due to my computer getting a virus

This is my Candy and Cookie tree in my kitchen along with the Santa's that have been decorating the tree.  They have been so busy ....

The Nutcracker wanted to help decorate also.

This wreath on my back coordinates with my tree in the kitchen.


This year I wanted to do something different on my tree, so I decorated the tree all in red ornaments and red birds.

I didn't put out all of my Santa's, just a few of my favorites. The Candy Santa is sitting on my desk.

This Santa was made by my very best friend Phyllis and he is my favorite.

My new center piece that I got at Michael's, 70% off, plus another 25%.  I danced all the way to the checkout counter.  I also purchased a new pillow at 70% off with another 25%.  I had a very productive shopping day.

That's the pillow I purchased at Michael's, the red with snow flakes,

Just a few of my Santa's, I can't get to the rest of them as that would require me getting on the ladder and I have had orders from headquarters, DO NOT GET ON A LADDER

I am having a love affair with Snowmen, they are just so darn cute....... so I put them all together.

The tall one just jumped into my cart Saturday when I was at Albertson's buying groceries.   I just couldn't tell him no, so home he came with me.  The one to the left lights up, so cute.

Waldo loves to have his picture taken and he followed me all over while I was snapping photo's.  He is getting so old, but he is still frisky.


My dining room table all decorated for the holidays.  I see one of the elf's sitting by a candle.

I got the placemats at the Dollar Tree for $1.00 each, they are made of felt with glitter around the edges.  The table runner and napkins were a gift to me for my Birthday from Phyllis.

The elf's have taken over the chandler, oh my.....

My Santa and Christmas Tree cookie jars.  The Christmas Tree is a Christopher Radko and the snowman is from Target.  I have had them for about 10 years.

My antique door with snowmen on the wreath

My arrangement on the hutch.  All of the ribbon matches the tree and wreath

My front porch with a few antique items-  the wagon, bike and chicken feeder

My old sled that I found leaning up against a tree, just waiting to go home with some one.  I asked the people that lived there and they didn't want it.  Even helped me put it in my car.

My wreath on the front door and another snowman..... oh my, they are taken over LOL

Hope you liked the tour of my cottage  Now I will be baking a few goodies to take up to my son's.
I am going up there to spend Christmas with him and my granddaughter.  So I can't wrap my gifts as I am traveling by plane.  Will do that when I arrive.

I wish all of your a wonderful MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.  Safe travels to all of you.

Mary, Waldo and Lili
