Holiday Traditions...

So have you pulled out your Christmas Decoration yet?


Do you have any favorites?


Do you go all out and decorate your whole house?




Or just a couple of special little decorations?



I must say I go all out!
 And I go a little crazy at this time of the year!


My house is all decorated and ready for the holidays!

But We are still  away on our trip to California.  But when we get back
my house will be ready for me to enjoy one of my favorite seasons,
Christmas!

So how do you celebrate the holidays?
Do you have any yearly traditions you do with your family?

Hugs, Linda

Hi Linda, glad you're having so much fun on vacation, your photos are amazing. And I'm waaay jealous that you already have your house decorated! We definitely go all out - I love Christmas and I love Christmas decorations. My faves are always my vintage ornaments and little houses, vintage Santas... you get the idea. My new faves are some handmade primitive items I've been collecting for the past few years from a local shop - there is a woman who makes canvas figures (I have a mouse and a snowman) then seriously shabbies them up and embellishes them with lots of old-looking things (rusty jingle bells, tea stained fabric, etc.). You've got me wanting to pull it all out right now, LOL!! Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh Linda,Your decoraton photos look just gorgeous!Where do I begin,every Christmas since our children were born,I have bought them a new decoration so that when,one day when they have their own trees,they will have memories of their childhood Christmas' to take with them,so 3 children,18,14&12 plus the numerous ones that we just can't resist buying,my 7" tree has very little space left. I also have a decoration mad husband that just can't stop adding to our collection. It's a good job we have a huge loft to store them all in!
Have a great weekend,Julie.x

WOW Linda! Cute decorations! I haven't decorated just yet.

Davi said...

Already decorated...wow you are on the ball! Love the camper! We camped all the time when my kids were home. Hey I just noticed you are just a stones throw away. I live in Needles.:)

I had some lovely decorations that I kept for years ... each had a special meaning ... till last year when I discovered my hubby had taken the box to the tip! He didn't even bother to check inside first ... I never let him forget it! ....

Becca said...

That first ornament is the cutest! It looks just like you and Bruce! :-) I love that you go all out and decorate. We shall see this year my friend, not sure if I'll be in the decorating mood or not. Hopefully, because I have all my stuff sitting on the kitchen table right now. Have fun traveling.

Oh yes ~ my decorations have been in full swing for a two weeks now. I keep the decorations to the living room and kitchen ~ but there are a lot of them! Won't it be wonderful to come home from your trip and be greeted by all your lovely decorations! :)

How adorable your little camper ornament, so perfect for you! How fun to come home to a fully decorated home.
I started this weekend, spent two days so far but still more to do. We go crazy inside and out, They nick named me MRS. Christmas. LOL. I really didn't know if I could do it this year but I'm working through the pain!
I'll share pics on my blog soon!

Love all your decorations! Our tree is up and the grandchildren put on their ornaments from the Gingerbreadhouse! They have gone back to Oklahoma, so I will get some sleep tonight! I will miss all the chatter!We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, but I need some time to recover before I decorate for Christmas. I am still washing and picking up!

Love the camper! Fabulous pictures. We have a Christmas village that the kids love to take out and set up. That is the one part of the christmas decorations that they love to help with. The other fun thing is Christmas Eve PJs.
Have fun on your trip.

Terry said...

Love these decorations, but the campers are amazing and fun! Not sure how much decorating this year will be accomplished. We are kind of in the middle of flooring (DIY), so many furnishings are moved to other rooms! Have fun!

It's always a special time of year and seeing your little ornaments gets me all in a festive mood. Sounds like you're all decorated and ready for Christmas.
