The Christmas Tour of Homes is such a lovely way for us to share our Christmas decorations. Welcome to Christmas at our house. 
Decorating the tree is always such a treat as we bring out all the favorite ornaments that hold special memories.
Our dining room has a fireplace and decorations for our chandelier and mantle set the mood. 
Since our dining room and living room are connected, we can enjoy Christmas dinner while admiring the Christmas tree.
Christmas is about the nativity, and this year I created a canvas of the baby Jesus for our Christmas cards. We have a lovely collection that always takes a place of honor in our living room.
Whether it's bits of Christmas in the kitchen, our outdoor Christmas lights on our Gazebo or good smells coming from the kitchen
it's all in the details. Together they create the cozy mood of Christmas
One of my favorite things about Christmas is getting to bring out my Santa collection. 
I love collecting Santas, especially the Vintage style. The biggest thrill was when I attended the collector's weekend at Vaillancourt Studios and got to paint this Santa. 
I will cherish him forever. Everyone in my family knows how much I love Santas so each year at Christmas my family and friends give me Santas to add to my collection.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas surrounded by friends, family, singing and cheer.
If you stop by Sophie's place at her blog Boo Mama you will find lots of wonderful decorated homes to tour, 
and If you would like to read some Christmas stories and find some resources about Christmas, I have created a special place called My Christmas Place for you to visit.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays
Blessings, Karen
The song for this post is Christmas Is Only Christmas With You.
