Deck the Halls

My most prized Christmas Decoration - oh yes, it was a "major award" from my husband and very "fragile". I am, of course, referring to the movie "A Christmas Story" which is my favorite! This is proundly displayed in the front window of the computer room.


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.
