This season, I am excited to start decorating for Christmas. So is Agnes, she is my motivation to get to it.

We started decorating the day after Thanksgiving.

This year I’m trying to add little touches of Christmas throughout the house.

Agnes is pretty happy about that.

Before we started, we cleaned… We started tackling the clutter in the “scary closet” and weeded out items that we no longer needed. We also moved out items that had wandered indoors that could be stored in the garage. We pulled out all of the Christmas decorations, and separated them into which room they would be going to. Everyone helped out too. The chore was quickly accomplished, and I’m glad that the storage closet isn’t as scary as it was.

We have a lot done, but I would like to add a few more decorations here and there. Here are a few photos from around our house.

The dining room is now home to the Christmas tree, and a few Christmas displays too. I love the glow of the Christmas tree at night.

The foyer has a few decorations too,

and laundry that needs folded. Ugh, I still haven’t gotten the house quite back together yet.

This year I’ve added Christmas decorations to the kitchen.

There are bright ornaments, and white lights lining my prep-space.

I’ve also lined a small cabinet with seasonal vintage Pyrex pieces, and white Christmas lights.

It is lovely in the evening, and the kitchen looks cheerier too.

It is cold, and dark earlier and earlier here. So I’ve been kicking it on the couch with my hubby.

You can’t beat curling up with a big mug of hot cocoa, a crochet project that needs finished before Christmas, and a few episodes of BSG too.

How is your Christmas decorating going? Are you decorating outdoors as well as indoors?
