Spreading Some Old-Fashioned Christmas Cheer...

Welcome to my Christmas Open House....I've got the Christmas Tree up and other Decorations and so I wanted to share them with you today....

Our Christmas tree is simple and old-fashioned and holds many of the same ornaments as it has for years, the Angel that sits atop is 25 years old I know. Some ornaments I made myself, some my children made when they were little, and some are vintage one's that I've picked up here and there over the years...each holding a special place in mine and my families heart.  In the past I've wanted to change up our tree a few times, but I've never had the heart to change things up, and I probably never will, the old keepsakes feel right and it just wouldn't be our Christmas tree without them. This tree is tradition for us and I suppose it always will be...(though I did go with a smaller version of it this year with pre-lit lights). 

I set the tiny Christmas Village underneath the tree....

Our Victorian Shabby Cottage Style Tree...

Done up in pearls and pinks, aquas with a touch of teal blue....






A little white cottage...with bottle brush trees....



Our tiny silver tinsel tree...I've showcased it on a milk glass cake plate filled with a blanket of snow and old Shiny Brite ornaments in pinks, aqua mint, silver and gold...
I've used my Nativity as my table centerpiece.... Remembering my Precious Savior's birth.... He is the reason for the season.  Happy Birthday Jesus...


Merry Christmas From Our Home to Yours!
