Well, not quite like Christmas down here in FL. But in our house, yes it is starting to look like Christmas. I didn’t go too crazy, but I do seem to accumulate more stuff as the years go by. So without further ado, it’s time to get our Christmas decorating on. As you know we already have the tree…
Look at that happy little tree. You know I can’t stop there! The rest of the house needed a little Christmas love as well. What better place to start then the mantel…
First up, the stockings!
My mom sent these last year filled with all sorts of things for Justin and I(yes, we still get our stockings filled!). These two became my new favorite stockings, so last years have been retired. I also picked up a couple little reindeer from Hobby Lobby to hang out on this good ol’ mantel…
It also got a bunch of candles and a cute little Christmas tree. And did you notice that awesome new pillow hanging out in the basket?
My aunt Kim sent this sweet monogrammed little pillow to us for Christmas. Don’t you just love it? Thanks Kim!
I also grabbed my glass hurricane that I used to decorate for Thanksgiving…
And I used that sucker to decorate for Christmas too ! Versatility rocks yo!
This time I used a white pillar candle and just strung some red beaded garland around it. I just threw it together and yup, love it…
Some more reindeer joined the hurricane on the console.
And a snowman to boot!
Next up I headed to the kitchen and plopped down our Christmas table settings that Justin’s mom picked up for us last year. Along with a cute little centerpiece that we got to take home from Justin’s Work Christmas party this year! Love it!
And do you see those berries in the background niche? Oh yes I stole that idea from my Thanksgiving decor as well, remember these?
Well they got filled with beans this time, and I picked up some sticks with berries attached from Hobby Lobby and came up with this…
I dig it.
I also added a gingerbread man…
And snowman soap dispenser, gotta have one of those…
Here’s some more Christmas decor and our massive Christmas card collection, yes that’s all of them!
I made these pine cones a couple years back, just picked them up outside and spray painted them white and red.
Holdiday plates? got those too. And a handsome yellow lab.
And of course some santa napkins…
Lastly we headed outside to get festive. Justin tackled the front yard…
Aren’t those globe lights in the tree just dreamy?
I think it’s my favorite part! We got them from Lowe’s if you’re interested.
And last but not least, the palm tree on our back patio received a make over…
There you have it, our house for the holidays. Hope you all have a rockin Christmas!
