Christmas is in the air at my house

Yesterday we started really decorating!  things are down out of the attic, out of the strorage room and into the living room to begin decorating! 

As many of you know last year my house was on a Christmas Home Tour for LANA (Lambuth Area Neighborhood Association) and my decorating was a little different because I wanted things to be "just right" so not all my things were used.  So for this reason I am having to incorporate things back into the house that I want to use this year.  The problem is these items are not in the "correct place" so it is driving me crazy putting all the pieces back together - but I am getting it done.

The living room is done in a Santa theme and I have the top of the tv done with a santa scene and a small tree inside a santa boot.  I have also worked on the main part of the mantle in the living room.

The bathroom is nearing completion - it is done in snowmen.  I have gotten the tree up in there, snowmen on the window sill, and put up the Christmas shower curtain hooks, Christmas soap dish, toothbursh holder, and Christmas tissues.

In the dining room I have the nativity tree up and have gotten out all my table clothes and chair covers I use at Christmas.

Outside I got all the greenery around the railings in the front of the house and all the lights are on the covered porch - ready to be hung.  I also trimmed the bushes yesterday to make putting the lights on them easier.  I now just need to make/buy about 30 bows to add to the railings (new idea for this year that just came to me yesterday).  I am going to go and check out the Dollar Tree first before I try to make them - they do not need to be giant - but not tiny either.

Ok back to work for me . . . more tomorrow
