It’s hard to believe that Christmas is a week away. All the decorations are up so I thought I’d take you on a little tour of our home.
First, I’ll show you the decorations outside.
This is our outdoor tree.
This wreath looks really pretty when it’s lit at night.
Our snowman is new this year. We found him at the auction a few weeks ago.
But this snowman is really old. It belonged to my in-laws and they used it many years.
Come on. Let’s follow Juicy onto the front porch.
Come on inside!
Here’s our mantel and tree in our living room along with some other decorations, too.
The kitchen is all decorated for Christmas.
This cute chalkboard on a silver tray was made by my Secret Blogging Santa, Patty, who blogs at Always Something. I love the chalkboard, Patty, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know you through the Secret Santa gift exchange!
Even the pot stand on our deck got a little Christmas touch!
I hope you enjoyed your tour of our home. I’m going to be very busy cooking and baking the next few days. We’re hosting my mother’s 90th birthday on Saturday and our family’s annual Christmas Eve Party next Monday. Whew! Can I get it all done before Santa arrives?

Jane,
You have done a beautiful job decking your halls this year. It’s hard to pick my favorite…maybe it’s that darling tree on the porch. Hope you all enjoy your mom’s birthday party…my mom’s 85th party will be held on the 29th. Merry Christmas to you and Leo.
Blessings,
Linda
Merry Christmas, Jane & Leo! Your home looks beautiful (love the sweet comments to each other, I think you will start a trend in Blogland!!! lol). And wish your mom a very happy 90th birthday from me, please. xo Oh, the little red ornament with the sprigs arranged to look like holly is so great.
Jane,
Everything looks beautiful! I love your mop angel. She’s so charming. Your front porch is so inviting. Love all your little trees, and the snowmen, both inside and out are so festive. I do love me some snowmen!
Sounds like you have lots to do, so take care, and have a Merry Christmas!!

Hi Jane! Oh, your home looks so lovely all dressed up for Christmas – inside and out! Love your big screened in porch and that you’ve put a tree on it! Your mantel is so pretty too.
Merry Christmas!

Aunt Jane,
Everything looks beautiful and looks like it is right out of a magazine. Love the mop angel. Would love to know the specifics of her….did you make her?
Janice
So gorgeous! The front is especially charming and let’s you know you’re in for a treat when you step through the door! Now why didn’t I think to lay my glass block down and use it as a display??? Love it!
Very pretty. I especially love your front porch and your use of a mop for the door decoration. Cute idea! Merry Christmas!
I sure enjoyed the tour. We saw your house lit up the other night when we had the kids and it looks great!
Jane your home tour was beautiful! Love the angel on your front door.
Have a Merry Christmas!
I really enjoyed the tour and the natural theme this year. Our family home sure does shine with all the touches you and Leo have added. It does my heart good and I know Mother and Daddy are looking down with much pride. See you Christmas Eve and Happy Birthday to Miss Lou…. Jean
Love all the decorations and lovely pictures. Merry Christmas to you both and prayers for the next year. Thank you for taking time to share your lives with us.
You are certainly all decked out and ready for Christmas. It is just beautiful. My favorite part is your hutch. Love all the festive dishes.
Everything looks lovely Jane. Hope your Mother has a wonderful birthday-I am sure she will. Merry Christmas to you and yours,
Lots of great decorations. The outside looks very festive with the greenery and snowmen. Love he tree on the porch with plaid ribbon. The hutch is beautiful. Love the doughbowl and all your touches of burlap.
