Christmas Tour

Christmas Tour

Merry Christmas – Come On In!

It seems like such a short time ago we all visited each other for Boomama’s first tour – but here it is – party time again! I am just thrilled to have you here and I look forward to dropping by your place and seeing all your Christmas decor.

I will keep this tour short – I know you have so many houses to visit.

This little tree greets you at our front door. According to Jackson, it is the “Mommy” tree. I love the little angel on top. (She is holding a light, so in the photo her face doesn’t show very well.) When I was sick years ago, I had a little Christmas tree in my bedroom with this angel on top.

Christmas-Tour-1jpg.jpg
Next we have Jackson’s tree. He claimed it as his a couple years ago – since it is the “baby” tree. (Now I am sure he considers it the “little boy” tree.) Gotta love the angel on top – classic Sunday School craft – an angel made from a paper cup! I bought this reindeer a couple years ago when Jackson was obsessed with driving around looking at all the reindeer on people’s lawns. He was thrilled when I brought this home for him. I think it is so cute and I love the sparkles that shimmer in the lights.
Christmas-Tour-5.jpg
This is a tiny nativity scene that Jackson’s Sunday School teachers gave him last year. Isn’t it sweet? Even dollar store treasures can be precious to a child.
Christmas-Tour-2.jpg
I love these angels – they are my mom’s.
Christmas-Tour-3.jpg
And here is the full scene – complete with the “Daddy” tree! The pink stocking is for Julia. Santa visits her here so the kids can share the fun Christmas morning.

Thank you so much for coming and I will be over just as soon as I can!

    Your home is beautiful and very festive. Maybe you can help me. I have been looking for reindeer for my yard it seems forever. The reindeer in the picture with the following looks exactly like what I am looking for. Do you know where the reindeer came from? If so, could you email me directly? Thanks very much. I hope you have a very enjoyable and healthy holiday season!

    Hello Janice, and thank you for letting us in!
    This is a lovely, elegant Christmas deco. You do so well in appreciating and displaying your kids’ handicrafts. It boosts their self-esteem and encourages their creativity. Plus, it is their way of being religious, one more reason to encourage them.
    Your mum’s angels are so serene!
    Have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

    I like the paper cup Angel on the tree too.
    And your fireplace picture looks like it belongs on a Christmas card. The tree stands out beautifully with the white room. Looks great…even down to the rocking horse.

    I enjoyed the visit.
