Here's a Holiday House Tour. The back entrance.
But please come in the front.
The entry. I added fresh greens to the swag.
I get out pictures from Christmases past and use them with some small oil lamps by the front door.

The living room
The living room looking right and left.
A pewter tray and little pitcher with magnolia leaves in the living room with a sea shell tree and some loose shells honor my beach roots. I add flowers to all of these for Christmas. This one gets heather to tie in with the plate.
The dining room
This shell tree I made for Mom. She always kept it in the dining room too.
The kitchen ... most of the crazy Christmas cactus bloomed at Thanksgiving.
The family room
The old accordion from my MIL and the red truck from my FIL sit with crocks and a pewter pitcher under the TV.
E's nutcracker.
The second family and dining room
I'm always changing it around and replenishing the greens throughout the season. The snow broke off several large magnolia branches so I have a ready supply and the tree guys have free greens.
