Christmas is Coming!

Oh Christmas will be here in a matter of weeks!  I'm already planning out my decorations for this year.  Last year we added to the Christmas cheer in our home by getting a second 9' tree!  My husband loves traditional red and green, so he really wanted that.  I thought bronze/gold went well in our house, plus my mom gave us a ton of gold ornaments that she no longer uses, so we have the bronze tree as well.  We also got monogrammed stockings last year!  Love these traditional red and white stockings from Pottery (got them on sale after Christmas 2008!).  The stocking holders are also from PB.  I love that you can hang a special ornament from them so you can change up the look every year if you want.  I'm going to have to think of some new creative things for this year!  Feel free to share any ideas you have!

Here are some photos from last year.  We were in our former home then :(

The Traditional Tree



The Topper



Glass hurricanes filled with ornaments on the mantle


Santa that I've had for a very long time- my grandparents gave him to me


The Bronze Tree






Coffee table decor


My stocking holder- depicting the newlyweds


Jason's stocking holder- of course a football...the giant bone was for the girls...not Jason,
but it wouldn't fit in their stocking


More red tree pics



My coordinated wrapping


Dining table.  It did not match the bronze tree, but I already had the red sooo


The finished mantle


The buffet decorated with a mix of sparkly and plain candles


Mrs. Clause baking!  My aunt gave her to me!
