Family room Christmas

I mentioned previously about the legend of the pickle.  I did buy each of my children a pickle ornament for their trees.  The first one to spot the pickle does get a special gift from Santa.  I had to check to remember.

Here are a few more areas that are done:

 

This Santa is on an old fashioned tricycle.  I bought him years ago at Bombay Company.  I think I have told you that I absolutely loved their store.  I was just sick when it closed.  He adds a little spirit to the fireplace hearth as it is flat with the floor, not like a traditional hearth.

 

years ago.The wreath over the fireplace sits on a wreath holder designed to hold wreathes.  I bought it a Pier 1,  years ago.  I do believe I have seen them at stores since.  It stands about three feet tall.  To the right of it is a silver tree that holds my Waterford collectable crystal ornaments.  I guess I have collected them for so long, I had to buy the gold tree.  The reindeer have been collected over the years, I have several more.  The white Large Santa dressed in white was a gift.  The other two re just tree toppers that I just found somewhere.  All of this is set off by crystal votive candles.  I like to use real votive candles as I think they are so much prettier than the fake ones. 

 

 

 

This is in the family room next to the blue and yellow tree, s you can see it the picture.  These are some of the angels I collected a long time ago, and I always have collected Christmas plates.

 

This kind of separates the tree from the mantel, but leads into it.

 

Christmas decorating is like decorating, I start a theme and color scheme and carry it through.  I use different themes as you can see from what I have showed you.  One thing is they all go together as their one color in common is green fir or spruce.
