Come on in and take a look at all of our festive decorations on our Christmas home tour 2016.
Christmas Home Tour 2016
You could say I’m a little Christmas obsessed. I love everything that Christmas stands for – the reason for the season, family, friends, food and of course, the decorating. In fact, I tend to go a little overboard when it comes to decorating for the holiday. I have a lot of Christmas decorations…most especially snowmen! I love snowmen and I have over 200 of them throughout the house. This year, we’re in a new house and since I never got around to sharing photos of the inside of the house, I thought it would be fun to offer you a Christmas home tour.
Christmas is everywhere!
I start decorating the day after Thanksgiving and I don’t take it down until the 8th of January…every year. There’s 43 days of Christmas in my house!
Why the 8th of January?
Easy! It was my maternal Grandmother’s birthday and she loved Christmas. Like me, it was her favorite time of year. Unfortunately, it’s also the day that my father in law passed away and so, it’s become a sort of tribute to both of them to keep the decorations up until the day has passed.
Let’s get started on our Christmas Home Tour!
