Holidays, Welcome to the North Pole!

North Pole

Welcome to the North Pole!  💈

 

 

Today is the 4th day of Celebrate & Decorate’s Holiday Home Tour featuring all different styles of holiday homes and decorations from very creative bloggers

 

 

Isn’t it great fun to get a peek of how other people “celebrate and decorate”  😉

 

 

We host our annual family Christmas Eve party, and Santa is a big part of our theme this year

 

 

Last year, Santa Claus himself dropped by, with a present for each of the 11 kiddos

 

 

Even though some of them are known to be naughty

 

 

We are hoping for a return visit, so we decorated in his honor

 

 

One of the elves is overcome with the joy of the season!

 

 

A Santa hat tops the tree

 

 

Bulky sacks from the North Pole Post Office, also known as amazon.com, are full of anticipation

 

 

The mantel is full of Ho Ho Hos

 

 

Jingles and Fa la las

 

 

‘Tis the Season!

 

 

Watch out for deer!

 

 

This is our Sweet Home Alabama Cotton Tree, covered with cotton bolls and Alabama ornaments, and pink pigs representing the South’s love of BBQ

 

 

This tree stays decorated, it just gets covered and tucked away in a closet after the holidays

 

 

Fancy faux packages and another cotton yarn tree [Target] are nearby

 

 

and a weathered holiday cottage

 

 

A very merry secretary

 

 

And a jolly bar

 

 

With a Gingerbread House vignette

 

 

And a tray of cheer

 

 

I can’t seem to get my fill of lights this year, I want to light everything!

 

 

The Sweet Shoppe in the kitchen got a ball of lights to keep it bright

 

 

and features a painted apron of course!

 

 

Holiday Cheer!

Unite the black and white Santa theme throughout the house

 

 

and my ho ho ho desk

 

 

decorated with favorite ornaments

 

 

I believe in the magic of the season…

 

 

Trees and lights

 

 

Letters to Santa

 

 

And ornaments galore!

 

 

Have you seen the mini lights that now come with a timer?  Auto on and off, so you can put them anywhere!

 

 

Super Boy and Big E are here often, so they have a life size Advent calendar with bags full of Christmas fun, treats, and even a chore or two… and a reminder to be good!

 

 

The dining room is more formal, filled with gold and silver…a break from Santa and his elves

 

 

Angels sing amid a forest of candles and a bright shiny star

 

 

Frosty has turned the powder room into a Spa this year, complete with a snowman make-up station!

 

 

Outside there’s no snow, but there is a Ho Ho Ho snowman

 

 

And more reminders to believe

 

 

Do you ever paint your pumpkins?

It’s easy to turn them into a Holiday Pumpkin Patch

 

I wish you the merriest of holidays!

Here are the links to all the holiday homes on tour this week!

Thank you Chloe for being the hostess with the mostess!
