My Home All Done up for the Holidays

Welcome To My Home - Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love all that the holidays bring, the snow, the food, and most of all the holiday decorations. I have so much fun decorating my home for the Holidays. However, there is one thing I like even more than decorating, it's sharing my festive Christmas decorations, with family and friends. I am grateful to Hubpages for making it possible for me to share my holiday home with you. I hope you will browse through my holiday photos, and maybe even get an idea or two you can use in your home.

Take a good look around your home, and consider items that you may not have ever considered decorating for the holidays. I have a wonderful Grandfather clock that was passed down to me. This heirloom has wonderful memories. It was my favorite aunt's pride and joy. In fact, I was with her the day she purchased the clock in the early 1960's. She took great pride in the clock, always keeping it spotless. I just know she would be pleased to see it's still in the family, and well cared for, and cherished. I decorate the clock every year, it always brings back such wonderful memories of my aunt and her lovely home. The clock makes such a festive statement.

Christmas Clock Vignette

This decorative vignette that adorns my grandfather clock includes many wonderful old antiques. The Carolers book and vintage boxes of all kinds. I use a garland with lights which give a beautiful glow in the evenings. "I think this vignette makes a great statement of Christmas's of old..."

I decorate each end table as well as my antique tea table. It's so much fun spreading my decor throughout the room. Think of adding some wonderful antique toys under your Christmas tree. Nothing like the feeling of Christmas morning after all the gifts are opened and lay beneath the tree. Plus, when my grandchildren visit over the holidays they always are well entertained by the toys under the tree. Notice my festive tea table all et up for an afternoon holiday tea party...

My kitchen garden window comes alive at Christmas. With children playing, and building snowmen. There is also a young lad pulling a sled with a Christmas tree a top. with his little faithful dog lagging behind...They pass by a manger setting, and a well-decorated home, with its large spruce tree all aglow for the Christmas season. In the evening the lights bring about Its pure magic!
