This is my Angel tree. My mother gave me an angel ornament one year which started it all. She passed away December 10, 1990 and friends and family started giving me angels each year. At this point there are over 500 angels on the this tree. I love to sit and look at in the morning while I drink coffee and do hand work.
This is the eating area in our family room. I hang fruit and nut ornaments and the little Christmas advent books that we read at dinner on it.
In the hutch I house our collection of Danish Nissemen. My husband is danish and we always have abliskiver and Flikadila (meat balls) at Christmastime. We've been collecting the Danish Plates since we were married in 1987.
The Elf Shelf
I adore these little guys!
The Snowmen corner
The Family Room tree. This is actually small for us this year, so not all the ornaments are on it. It has several 40's plastic ornaments and bells that were my mothers and, of course, bubble lights!
Here in my American Girl Doll, Annie, in the sewing room with the doll bed I won and my little pink and red tree. It fun to sew and wrap in there with this cheery little tree.
I love these old shiny bright ornaments, especially the ones with the glitter or flock on them.
I love when the house is decorated and lit up during this cold dark month. I hope you're finding time to enjoy the sights of the season.

LOVE all your decorations, especially that "fra-gee-lee" lamp. I can hear Darren McGavin reading the word from the box as I'm typing this. Your angel tree is lovely, and such a fitting tribute to your mother.
You have a real winter wonderland with all the trees and special decorations.
oh my goodness. you have three trees? wowza. I LOVE your elf shelf!!! how great they are! everything looks amazing!
I love the light! That is my favorite movie also. When it first came out I owned a costume shop and had Santa's out at a few different shopping centers. When the scene with Santa came on I laughted till I was crying. The guy I had gone to the movie with thought I was nuts.
Have a Merry Christmas!

Great decorations - and soooo love the little pink and red tree. I may have to do one of those myself. Thanks for sharing -- Merry Christmas.
the lamp -uuuurrrrggggg

Of course I can't find the Charlie Brown tree from last year- too much packing and unpacking this year

It is all so festive!!! Did you see my Danish elves and my aebleskiver on my blog? Another thing we have in common!!
Oh Barb your decorations are fantastic! You've inspired me to do a little more trimming today!
Everything looks so wonderfully festive at your place. I loved seeing all the trees. I'm mad about the doll bed. The elves are so fun.
Barb,
Your home looks "House Beautiful" gorgeous! Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Love the Elves Shelves and Snowmn corner.
Enjoy..Happy New Year too.
Oh, how fun that you have one of "those" lamps! Love the movie.
Nobody decorates quite like you at Christmas! Amazing. Do you still put out the mice or is it too tempting for the cats?
