Christmas Decorations!-Tour of Homes

Christmas Tour of Homes with The Nester

Welcome to our Christmas decorated home! Come on in and look around.

This is on our front door:


This wreath is on our side door.

Here is our tree! I really like it this year. I used that colored net stuff and love what it does on the tree.

Here are a few of my favorite ornaments. This one is very special to me because when Leslie and I lived in London, we would meet at Harrod's every Thursday and pick out a new Christmas ornament. I love the London black cab!

Ann made this sweet ornament for me when Neil and I got engaged. At the time, I was playing tennis. I have since hung up my racket.

Anyway, I just love it and it was so thoughtful of her to think of us.

This one I love because Neil and I picked up this mini set of clogs in The Netherlands. I try to buy an ornament every time we go to a new place.


I made this little Saints tree for Neil a few years ago. It sits on our kitchen counter. It is really on it's last leg and I need to re-do it. I even put tickets on it from a game we went to.

This just sits on one of our end tables.

I got this idea from my friend Leslie. We are going to buy a new Christmas book each year. If you haven't read The Tale of Three Trees..you have to! It is the sweetest book!

Here are my apothecary jars that I have sitting on top of my book shelf. I change them out with every season!

I love this southern plate that Meredith gave me.


Here are our stockings. I ordered them last year when Bennett was born.


This is a new addition this year. I wanted to come up with a way to display our Christmas cards. I thought this was a perfect way to display them for all to see. I just bought those little removable hooks and hung garland over the door frame. I just used clothes pins to attach the cards. I tied ribbon on some of them but they need something more to make them festive! I get so giddy when I go to the mail box to see if we have any cards!


And here we have the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas Y'all!
