christmas at my house

I love Christmas.  Its my favorite Holiday EVER!  Every movie I have put in this month has to be Christmas related.  Right now I am watching The Holiday.  So good.. 

We don't have a fireplace in our little, humble abode. The stockings are up for display for now because Christmas will be spent in Ferron this year.  I got these at Roberts Crafts last year and I just love them.. Perfect stockings for the two of us.
My tree this year is lovely!   Greens, Blues with a touch of Fucia.. Think I mentioned that before.

It's tradition in my family that we get a new ornament every year. This was the one my mom gave me last year.  She had them tied on to one of our presents.  I found them at Krumpets this year for 25 cents!  I stocked up.  


Here is one of the peacocks.. I think they are so fun.  I love plugging in the Christmas tree and having that the only light in the house... anyways.. 

Growing up my mom had this coke bottle crate that we used as an advent.  It has 24 slots and each day we would put a little ornament a slot.  
My mom found some more old crates and gave one to me!  However, I don't have any ornaments small enough.  I used a couple old ones that were Orrins growing up, but I don't have 24.  Its still fun and looks great on the wall.

There is a little view of my Christmas home decor and traditions.

Where did you get your peacock? I have been looking for some pretty little birdies to perch in my tree. And I love your wrapping. I haven't benn able to do any wrapping since I have a sneeky 2 year old.

Call your mom- I'll bet she has a few extra small
ornaments for your advent :)
