Christmas Decoration

Katherine_GarberaThis is actually my favorite part of the holidays.  The decoration I love the best is my nativity by Fontanini. We set it up the day after Thanksgiving and keep baby Jesus hidden away until Christmas morning. When my kids were little we’d rotate years as to who would get to place Jesus in his crib on Christmas day.  The Three Wisemen make their journey around our house as well and each night when the kids go to bed I move them somewhere else. I also have an advent calendar that is a box with little doors in it.  Each day I put a clue in the box and the kids have to go off and find their treat for the day.

I put up a tree in every room.  My upstairs trees are less formal then the one in the living room.  The ones in the kids’ rooms are themed to their likes and each year as we get out the ornaments they loved as little kids we chat about when we got the ornament.  I have garland down the stairs that I wrap with some twinkle lights and bows.  I change my hall runners to holiday ones and put out some embroidered table runners that my grandmother and I made when I first got married.

My kitchen is the heart of the holiday for me because we have so many dishes we only eat at this time of year.  I change the mugs next to my coffee maker to my Santa ones and the plates over my kitchen window to my holiday themed ones and then I put out my teapot and salt shakers and change my seat covers on the kitchen chairs.

How do you decorate?
