We began by decorating the Christmas tree. Of course, this required turning on Christmas music to sing along to and reminiscing about the many ornaments on our tree...
Next came the mantle and hanging our stockings with care... 
Then on to the dining room...
Then I turned my attention to the breakfast table and decided which pieces of 'Tis the Season to set the table with...
I decided to hang the kissing ball from the breakfast area chandelier this year...
I then decorated the rest of the breakfast area...
Then moved to Ma's tea cart...
Then the island...
Then the kitchen counters...
And I had to find a place for the Christmas spreaders...
Then I moved into the living room and began with the chest (where the Santa with the train which reminds me of Daddy was placed where it could easily be seen)...
Then on to the side table...
And the little chest where our MSU Santa found a home...
And then the coffee table (I always have to place my bunny bell, a Christmas gift from Daddy a long time ago where I can see it)...
And, of course, the bookcase needed a little dose of Christmas cheer...
Then the nativity scene was placed on the entryway piece so that it would be the first thing we see as we enter our home...
Then the rest of the entryway was decorated...
Bully needed a Christmas bow...
Then, of course, the outside needed a little attention (we couldn't find our clips to make the extension cord look nice and neat, so we're headed out soon to buy some new ones)...
A small nativity scene and a few Christmas balls were placed in our bedroom, and this little tree brings Christmas to our bath...
And, of course, we couldn't neglect Toula's home...

Bully needed a Christmas bow...Charles gave me an early Christmas present...a Goebel kissing ball (I love kissing balls) which we hung in the entryway...

Now, I only need a poinsettia or two and a Christmas cactus which blooms (and a few more presents under the tree) and we'll be finished.

Wow! I think Megan & Charles have enough Christmas decorations to decorate our house as well!
I think your house is definitely off limits this holiday - Patrick would have a field day with everything...giving mommy and daddy heart attacks as we add up how much money we owe uncle charles and aunt mae mae!
Love ya'll!
