~Christmas Vignettes~

Merry Christmas to everyone! 9 days until Christmas! Time has flown! Here are a few pictures of how Christmas turned out in our home this year. I was in the mood for change, I decided to do a smaller tree which I really like, it was so easy to put up and decorate compared to the nine foot one we have had in years past. It will be easier to take down also, which was something I reminded myself when dreading to take it all down last year. So, this year I decided to keep things more simple.

I didn't want to move the pie safe, so I kept it where it was, and decided to put one of my belsnickle santa collections in it, instead of putting them on the mantle again this year. I am really enjoying their new place! I kept Mr. Pearce where he was on the mantle, and added greens, pewter candlesticks, and dried pomegranates. A more colonial look!















My new Arnetts Country Store Santa, how I love him, he has such a kind face and I love the list he is holding.





Reproduction chocolate molds in the kitchen.
I have a lot more to take pics of, and hopefully if I find some time, I will try to get them on here before Christmas. I hope everyone is having a blessed holiday season! Merry Christmas!

Love your tre, there must be a thousand lights on it and I think you and I have the same Santa Suit except yours looks so much better displayed on the little chair.
