Christmas Belles

Hello there friends! So, some of you have asked to see my Christmas tree. I have always enjoyed decking my house out for Christmas so I am very excited to share some photos of my decorations with you. But first I wanted to let you know that we did receive the snow fall I was hoping for the other day. When the snow was done falling we had about 8 inches! The usual snow fall for us is about 5-6 in. It was the perfect amount to play in, here is a picture of my son in our fresh snow....

Be prepared, I have a lot of photos to share with you. I don't think I have ever taken this many photos of my decorations before, this will be so much fun to look back on in the future. To start, here is my dinning table...

I've wrapped three Princess House crystal cylinders with my most favorite green, with gold edging, holiday wired ribbon. This ribbon looks so much better in real life, it kind of has a gold shimmer to it. It looks amazing on a gift wrapped with kraft paper. :) The cylinders are sitting on a gold charger and one of these days I will put some votive candles inside each one.

Above the table is this...

Tiny gold jingle bells draped over the chandelier then tied with more ribbon. (Can you tell that I really like ribbon!).

A garland above our entertainment center...

Yep, more of that same ribbon that was used on the chandelier.

Here is the Nativity scene on the coffee table...

This was given to me by my mother in law. I love it! It's so simple, but so representative of the true reason I celebrate Christmas. It's supposed to hold a tea light candle, but I am all out as of now. It sits on another gold charger with little ornaments randomly placed around it.

Now onto the tree...

This tree is an assortment of red, gold and green decorations, that I have collected over the 8 and half years that I have been married to my hubby. The bottom of the tree is a little bare, we have a dog that has a very strong tail wag and a son that loves to help redecorate. So kid friendly and non fragile ornaments hang from the bottom.

Here is the star tree topper, stars are the main theme of my tree. Oh and of course, more ribbon (he, he!)...

Here are some shots of my favorite ornaments...

In the photo below is a jingle bell candy cane...

It's a little hard to see, but somewhere in the photo below is a gold wired carolling angle...

So there you have it, I am finally ready for Christmas (all except for the gift shopping part)! I do hope you enjoyed, I know I've enjoyed sharing. Thanks for stopping in and have a blessed day.
