The first thing up is those wreaths. That's because I get to them first sitting on top of the pile when I am unearthing the Christmas boxes.
My husband found the lavish poinsettias at Costco and though I planned to put them on the porch, it was too cold. They really look beautiful in the kitchen.
The view from the kitchen into the living room. I love the evergreen garland. It smells so good and makes up for the plastic tree out of camera shot.
Here is the living room from the entry way. There is another 30 foot garland hanging over the windows on the right.
The entry table holds Christmas cards and my little musical Father Christmas that is 40 years old.
A wider view of the entry way.
The hearth in its finery. I love the burlap "Merry Christmas" swag. It was made by a friend.
The Christmas stockings have served my husband and I well. Can you guess which of us is the dog and which is the cat?
My favorite red transferware tea set, just poised for an invitation to serve.
The dining table with small trees and tall angels.
Getting ready to set the table.
More window garland.
And how it looks from a distance.
The mantel from the straight on view.
And the side view with the sectional and pillows and blue velvet ottoman
. Can you tell I like looking at it?
Nothing quite like the coziness of Christmas. Hope you enjoy yours!
