Christmas is drawing nearer by the day. We are enjoying all the festivities of the season and I’m especially savoring all the outings, the Christmas parties, time with friends, seeing all the lights while driving around and generally making the most of this beautiful month of December. Today I’ll share our Christmas tree with you and the dining room. It doesn’t look much different from last year, except I’ve added a few additional ornaments, but the Shiny Brites are still the star of the show (and Daisy!), as we celebrate the season.
Mark added his Lionel train again and we love the nostalgic feel it gives.
I managed to get Daisy into her Christmas sweater and she did really well posing by the tree as I tried to get her to look at me. She has a habit of looking away when the phone is pointed at her, as if she knows I want to take her picture. I love this one!
This King of Christmas tree (affiliate link) I got last year really fits the room well and it doesn’t take up near as much room as the old one did, so it’s definitely a keeper for our smallish living room.
Little village people under glass is an easy way to display a vignette on the coffee table.
The tree is full of sparkly ornaments and old fashioned tinsel. I love how this tree holds so many ornaments and they can be layered inside.
It’s perfect for displaying these glass ornaments.
Mark had this lighted star and I don’t know where he got it, but I love it on our tree.
It’s a happy colorful tree and we both love it. I added a few more glass garlands this year from Christopher Radko.
Here’s a night shot. Those trains in front are for each of Mark’s 4 daughters. He got trains with their birth years on them.
And one more of cute Daisy by the tree!
I have a small tabletop tree from Lowes in the dining room on the wicker cart. It also has colored lights and can switch back and forth. Unfortunately this tree is no longer available.
I love how it looks in here.
I did a collaboration with CVS this month on a Pinterest video and some of the table items are from there.
The green fabric trees, nutcrackers, red trees, and plaid plates are from CVS, as well as those gift items.
I added colorful ornaments to the centerpiece and the pink deer I found at Homegoods years ago. She’s pretty in pink and looks good with the rest of the table. Those pink and blue glass trees are from Walmart a few years ago.
I do enjoy a colorful table for Christmas.
On the sideboard, I kept it simple with lighted garland and the nutcrackers, red trees, and iron reindeer, also from CVS. I was slow decorating this year, but once I got going it was nice to get it finished by Thanksgiving weekend and now we can enjoy it for at least 6 weeks or more. We love how the house feels with all the Christmas lights illuminating everything. It just gives a soft glow that is so special this time of year as we watch Christmas movies and enjoy the season. I hope you all are savoring all the memories that this season brings! Merry Christmas!
Everything is so beautiful and festive! Merry Christmas to you and Mark!
Oh, your house all decorated for Christmas is just beautiful! But Daisy steals the show!!! What breed is she? So adorable!
Daisy is a Shorkie!
LOVE your Shiny Bright collection. Very pretty! Hi puppy, you are so cute.
Love all the Shiny Brites and the pretty tinsel. Reminds me of my childhood. Is it hard to get the tinsel off after Christmas? Also Daisy does steal the show. I know she is a sweet sweet pup. Merry Christmas to you all
What a star! and the one on the tree is lovely too! God Bless
Rhoda, here in North Carolina, Christopher Radko has an annual warehouse sale every year in Gastonia, NC at their location. Called the “Warehouse Sample Sale/Christopher Radko” and they announce the date on their social media page as well as email. You can sign up for their upcoming events as well as other info about their ornaments, etc. at the Christopher Radko website. I have never been but have friends that go and they really stock up on some great deals. Hopefully, I can make it to the next one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Mark and Daisy! And, as always, love, love, love your Christmas decor!!!
Thank you, Carol! Now that sounds like a fun sale, as I look up how far we are from Gastonia (it’s almost 4 hours away). I know I would enjoy shopping that one.
Love your Shiny Brite ornament collection. There is something so special about vintage ornaments. Think of all the Christmases they have witnessed! The train is a perfect nostalgic addition. Daisy looks ready for a ride on that train! Have a Merry Christmas.
Everything is so beautiful and festive. I also love your living room sofa . What brand is it?
It’s an Ethan Allen that’s about 20 years old. Still going!
