Holidays, Christmas Cheer

Welcome and come on in!

Did you know that surrounding yourself with holiday decorations

dramatically increases your happiness?

I have been merrily decorating!

A Christmas forest on the mantel makes me smile,

as does my Sweet Home Alabama Cotton Tree

I found the deer at Target in the Dollar Spot,

aren’t they cute?

My Holiday Shadow Box is up there too

On the fire place screen there’s a gingerbread stocking ornament

full of sweet treats šŸ˜Š

A festive Ho Ho Ho sign is behind the love seat

reminding us all to be jolly!

The secretary shelves hold more trees

and favorite whimsical decorations

Mini lights come on at night

I couldn’t bear to put away

my black and white pumpkins

so I dressed them up with Christmas ribbon!

The bar shelves hold Christmas Cottages,

mischievous elves, Christmas glasses and more

There is a Christmas tree cookie jar on the kitchen island

along with oversized ornaments

It’s easy to move things around a little to set up a buffet

The top of my art desk has a tiered tray

full of trucks with trees

and more trucks driving about

There’s a Santa count down calendar in the kitchen too,

where I put little surprises for the boys to find every day

I put my Christmas cards up all around Santa

so we can enjoy them all month long

Frosty is taking his annual Christmas bubble bath

in the powder room

A choir of Burlap Angels is singing away on the hall table

Yesterday was my birthday

and I celebrated with my BFF and her husband

who both have December birthdays too

HHjr cooked us a delicious dinner

and we sat at this festive table

set with sparkling candy cane ornaments

and silver packages

I hope you’ll come back by on Tuesday

where I will share our Christmas tree

and a Jolly Holiday Tray

as part of the Christmas on a Tray Blog Hop

filled with more holiday inspirations!

    Oh my goodness I love your Snowman in the tub. I have a snowman head that goes on a white Christmas tree but I didnā€™t have a place to put him this year so I was going to wait till Christmas decorations come down and my collection of snowmen go up but tomorrow he is going in the tub with a new body of some sort. Thanks for the idea!

  20. Joanne says:

    What lovely holiday touches all over. That snowman in the tub is hilarious!

    Oh my goodness Jenna. This is all so cute – I’ll bet the kids love it and Frosty definitely makes quite the splash lol! The burlap angels are adorable – everything is and thanks for all the great inspiration! I hope you had a wonderful birthday at your lovely table and how great is it that HHjr loves to cook! Merry Christmas Jenna!
