Christmas Extravaganza 2007

My claim to abbreviated Christmas decor is relative -- if you're me, it's less than usual; if you're anyone else, it's probably a reasonable amount.

More on the wreath trio (and the living room)

I'm thinking three live wreaths behind the couch may become an annual tradition.

My mom made this cute Santa pillow a few years ago; clever idea and super simple.

Three giant ornaments adorn the curtain rod in the living room.

The mantle

I can't stand the thought of removing my grandmother's glass dishes from the mantle. So I decorated them with snow, brushed silver fruit and reindeer ornaments, silver jingle bell garland and red satin ribbon.

The garland/Manger scene

How can you have Christmas decorations without lights? I swagged a garland over the kitchen pass-through and loaded it with white lights, glittery silver, gold and red ornaments, and a red satin and gold bow. It's the perfect frame for our manger scene.
