Thanks Juju. Here are a couple more in my dining room. Lots of reds and greens in the family room with the tree but I like softer greens and golds in the dining room with just a hint of red thrown in.

I love looking at your beautiful decorations! Now, will someone take pity on a poor musician (GADS, I hate the extra work with the holiday seasons) and professor (GADS, I REALLY hate the end of the semester!) and just bring your gorgious (CRUD...don't know how to spell that word, and no time to look it up!) decorations over to my house? LOL! Thanks for sharing! You all are superb in the decorating department!

Hip (a great family look), CCG (true to your love of lights, I see!), Luv (ahem, and your cutie, Kris!), Yank (sure that's not from House Beautiful?) and Wink (warmth of home comes across so well), you have really made me smile and oooh and ahhhh here! Isn't it amazing that decorative styles reflect your distinctive, sparkling personalities?!! I loved them all!

Wink - your tree and house look gorgeous! Very "Martha Stewart" in the dining room...at least that's what the colors remind me of. So pretty!

What great decorations. We are waiting for oldest dd to arrive to start on our tree. Baby is taking a nap and dh and I are rearranging the furniture and trying to figure out where to put everything. LOL We went by the friend's house the other night and took pictures of the decorating we did for them. I'll post them later along with pictures of our tree.

Landi I agree with Hippy, what a great idea for a thread. Like everyone else I love looking at everybody's celebration of the season and enjoy seeing all the different styles we use to decorate. And thanks to all those who've had such kind things to say.

Here are the pictures of the friend's house that we decorated. We finally got over there after dark.
And here's our tree, as you can see we do a totally family kind of tree ........ lots of ornaments that the kids have made.

Nice job on the outdoor deco Jmm. I love tree trunks wrapped in lights. And I adore your paper reindeer on the tree.

Wow, Vee! I love all your things. The village is very nice. And are those bubble lights?!! Woooo weee, I've always wanted those! Gosh, your presents are wrapped so beautifully! I think my favorite is that tall angel hanging to the left of the tree near the fishing (?) basket. She is gorgeous! That (fishing?) basket filled with poinsettias and holly is so cool! Love it!

Thanks, Herckie. Thought some may recognize some of these things that I have mentioned...the village...the photo of my great-grandmother(and her little brothers) hanging from a peg...my grandfather's fishing basket gleaned from my nana's shed this fall, and the painting that my dd did for me one other Christmas a few years ago. Nope, not bubble lights, just the way the camera captured the small twinkle lights...makes it more impressive than it really is! My tall angel is a gift from my dil. I really like it, too. I made her sign the back for me last year when I got it for Christmas. She thought it was just a seasonal ornament, yet I've kept it out all year. Ah, but then I am the nut who kept Baby Jesus on the bread box for a year to remind myself that He is the Bread of Life. LOL! The pretty packages are the direct result of following Martha Stewart's excellent advice and switching from paper bows to real material. Cheaper, too, in the long run because all those ribbons just keep getting recycled.

That is lovely Vee. The touch of nostalgia with the photo and fishing basket tell a wonderful story. Your village is adorable.
