Getting ready for Christmas!

Getting ready for Christmas!!

Getting ready for Christmas!!

Ever since I can remember, I have been absolutely, positively, over the top crazy for Christmas.  It’s a magical time that stirs my soul.  Truly. Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, how lovely are thy branches!

I love the decorate the house from top to bottom.  This year we have about 10 trees in various sizes…They are not all large trees, but they are decorated in some fashion, mostly with a different theme…

Decorating for ChristmasThis is our main Christmas tree that sits between the dining room and living room.  It’s about 8 feet tall and loaded with satin burnished gold ornaments and hints of red and burgundy.

This is a cute little slim tree, about 5 feet tall, that sits on the stairway landing.  I was in Boerne last month and a store had these cute trees decorated all rustic with old tree branches, so I gathered old oak limbs that had lichen/moss and tucked them into the tree.   Then I added snow flakes, cotton batting and sprinkled fake snow on top.  Total woodlands look.

In the wine cellar with old corks and winey ornaments.

Setting the table for friends and family!  Lots of Holiday dishes, good wine and Christmas Crackers for fun…

And lots of good hot chocolate!!

I’d love to know how you decorate for the Holidays.
