A Romantic Christmas

Welcome everyone to the Creative Christmas linky party!  How fun is this to get to inside of everyone’s home at Christmas time. I love going for a drive and looking at the home’s that are already for Christmas. I love seeing their Christmas tree shinning through the front windows, and often wonder what it must look like inside.

That’s just what this Creative Christmas linky party does for me, it lets me see past the front window and into the home. It’s my turn today to share with you my Christmas decor. I really shook my decor up this year and didn’t follow with many of my old traditions and it really was fun for a change. Enjoy the tour!

Welcome to my little nest, the tour starts at the entrance and my wonderful old birdbath filled with evergreens.

    • Thank you Jann for the opportunity of being in your Creating Christmas linky party. This is the first year that I didn’t cry decorating the tree. I left most of my memories in my cedar chest and that’s where they will stay. Nice to have a new start. xx Jo

  2. Jo I can honestly say I’ve never seen a Christmas tour with this much eye candy, this much time and thought poured into rooms filled with love. Wow I will return to take in all your Christmas wonderland again and again.

  3. Hi Jo, you have so many beautiful and interesting nooks and crannies filled with wonderful decorations. I especially love the wooden angel with the bit of lace boa and your pink tree. I, too, am enjoying all the Christmas Tours and love to drive around the town peeking in windows. I actually get mad if the lights are off or the curtains are drawn!..Happy Tuesday..Judy

    • Trina, you are so sweet. I have had several people come and visit and said that they have never felt a warmth like they have here at Christmas time. I really strive to have the Spirit in all things. This is my way of giving back. Thank you for your kind comment.xx Jo
