decorating for Christmas

It is so fun decorating a new house at Christmas time.

We have a front room that attaches to the kitchen.  It could be a formal dining room or even an office if it had doors.  We wanted a music area and knew that this room would be the perfect spot for the Christmas tree.  Someday we will remove the light fixture and then it will look less dining-ish in that area.

I'm loving our little Santa on the door.  When the wind blows his beard blows and he sways.  I just love his little face.

This time of year is just so wonderfully sweet.  I'm thankful each and every day for the blessings in my life.  Merry Christmas decorating y'all!
