Christmas Tour of Homes 2009
ByHi friends! It’s that time of year again to take you on a holiday tour of my home. This year’s Tour of Homes is hosted by The Nester. Do me a favor and do not look at her house before you look at mine because, well, you know…SHE’S THE NESTER.
I thought about going through my archives to find the tours I have done for the past three years but that requires so much clicking and well, more clicking. I’m not that ambitious. (Perhaps later.)
So, let’s get started, k?
Would you like some coffee or perhaps some hot chocolate? I have truffles and peppermint bark in the fridge. (yes, friends, the peppermint bark tutorial is coming tomorrow!) Please, help yourself.
This is our tree. I suppose it would make sense for me to act like I held the camera in such a way and that the tree only looks like it’s leaning except that would not be truthful. The tree is leaning. I don’t know why. I do not care.

Our little fireplace with our four (and a half) stockings.


Everybody needs mistletoe. (maybe even year round?)

The Nativity.

The outdoors. (a snippet, at least.) I would show you the whole house except I had just changed into my pajamas when I remembered to take photos so you know, it’s cold out and I have no bra on and also I don’t want to be the crazy, weird neighbor who takes photos of her house at night in her pajamas.
Just a stigma I’m trying to avoid. So, I stayed on the porch.

This wreath reads “blessings.”

Can you smell it? Man I love Christmas candles.

And finally. WE ARE BELIEVING.

I hope you enjoyed this simple tour – I am wishing you and your family a very, very Happy Holiday! And thank you to so many of you, for blessing me everyday with just your presence on this blog. Wishing you only the best.
























hoping some of that holiday spirit rubs off on me soon!
I like the snowflake and blue outdoor lights.
I love your wreath! I have been using the Costco fresh wreaths the last few years, but this year I bought a grapevine loop (sort of like the pink breast cancer ribbon- shape) with some greenery already on it. I embellished it with some green glittery poinsettia’s w/ red glittery berries and a few glittery gold twigs. Gorgeous! I love this time of year! Thanks for your post. Love your blog!
I am that crazy lady who is out there in her housecoat taking pictures of the frost! I will admit it! It all looks so festive! I am stopping by from Nester’s tour. If you want to see my tour, click on the ‘Christmas 2009′ tag on the left sidebar of my blog to see my Christmas decorating posts! Merry Christmas!
