It's Christmas Time At Our House!!!

Hello Friends, I hope you all had a most wonderful Thanksgiving!!

We usually spend our Thanksgiving at the cottage. . . so I like to decorate our home the weekend before Thanksgiving. This way, when we return it's all done and I can then concentrate on entertaining, baking and focusing on the real meaning of Christmas. . . Thank you Lord for sending us your son, Jesus our savior! This is the best present ever received. . . salvation through Jesus Christ your son. Yes, Wise Men (&Women) do still seek Him!

This is our Christmas tree in the Great Room. It's 13' high and pre-lit. We got the most wonderful deal on this tree a few years ago after Christmas. We were at our cottage and a Home Depot there had their items 50% off. We saw this tree and passed on it. Still too much money. A few days later we were there again (for something needed for cottage repairs - I'm sure) and there was one tree left and it was marked 75% off! We then thought it must be for us! I use a very, very tall ladder to decorate this tree. I'm afraid of heights, so I don't look down. My hubs puts the tree up and I decorate it - climbing very carefully. Underneath our tree is our nativity. The "reason for the season!" I'll post that picture later. While I decorate the tree inside the house, my hubs decorates outside the house. I'll post pictures of that later too, if the pictures come out at night.

I like to decorate the foyer stairs and catwalk with lighted, decorated garland. I place ribbon, bows and Christmas bulbs in the garland too.

Here's a partial shot of the catwalk. It's decorated too with the same garland as the foyer.

So now you have seen some of our Christmas decor. What's your decorating include for the holiday?

Blessings. . . until next time,
