Christmas and Traditions

We are always excited to decorate for Christmas.  Our decorations are not too extravagant, as those of you who know me know that I’m a pretty simple girl.  But, they make me happy.  I have this idea, that I’ll like to feature a couple of my friends’ homes and how they decorate in the next couple of weeks.  But, I’ll start with mine.

The tree.  I put up the lights and tree.  The kids decorate.  Mike supervises.

New decorations this year that I bought at last year’s post Christmas sales.

My favorite Nativity.

Jess and I rarely do projects together (only because of conflicting schedules), but this burlap banner was fun and simple.

I made these stockings for our little cottage in Sandpoint, patterned after Hable Construction stockings at Garnet Hill

 

Every year I collect a new Santa.  I kind of tend toward the folksy kind.  The “Believe” sign is from a dear friend.

Santa Pillow that goes with my already-Christmas-colored room.

Grandma’s crocheted snowflakes hung on tension rods with fishing line.

Nativity Advent that my mom made when I was a little kid.  Malerie just made an updated version.

I love the Snowflakes your grandma made. How special. The advent from when you were a little girl is precious too. I hope you have lots of snow. I wish we did.
