CHRISTMAS DECORATING 2022 PART 3

Here are some more of the decorations that we have up this year. You can see the other two parts that we posted HERE and HERE.


We take the chance to hang a decoration on a cabinet knob or door pull, like this sparkly Santa hanging from a cabinet knob.


This is dead space below the sofa table and we have some Christmas themed boxes that we keep down here.  They double as decoration AND storage.  The Santa one is full of bows.  The round one has spools of ribbon.  The red/white striped one is a recent addition and we're keeping blank cards in there. Another has extra strands of lights if we need them.

Here is what is on top of the sofa table, using our wonderful apothecary jars we bought a few years ago:


We have filled them up with various Christmas items. Here is one end.  Bows are great quick decorations.  The large bowl shaped one is filled with Lindor chocolate truffles (our holiday Christmas guilty pleasure).  The container is an old holder made OF Christmas cards that are stitched together.  Each side is a different part of a card. We put our Christmas cards in it each year.


Some more bows (told you they make great quick decorations, ha).  The smaller one has white fluffy stuff in it and it sparkles like snow.  That's not showing in the photo but it is pretty.  A little stocking embroidered by one of my Grandmothers hangs on the top and then there's a Christmas sign we enjoy.  In the back is one with candy canes in it.  And lastly, on the end is a Rudolph coffee mug that I won in an "ugly coffee cup" exchange once.  We LOVE it.  It's not ugly, it's cute and very vintage looking.

We don't do a lot since we have a small space but it puts us in the Christmas spirit and that's what matters.

  2. I love all of your Christmas decorations. Especially the ones that have a special meaning, like the hand-embroidered stocking from your grandma. Very smart to use those cute Christmas boxes as decor and storage.
    Hoping you got your preps done at the Farm for the upcoming Deep Freeze. I have most of mine done but since it’s going to dip into the teens, I’m going to do some additional protection tomorrow. And bring in some more firewood!!
