Here's a look at what my home looks like around this time of year. I grew up in this house and my mom does a wonderful job of decorating each holiday. But Christmas is the best. It's beautiful, cozy, and magical. I hope you enjoy the little tour...
Here's a view of the daytime...
There's actually a funny story about our tree. You can read that in my guest post over at Nat the Fat Rat. It's a good one. :)
And a night view...
This is a music box I got for Christmas a long time ago. It was one of those things I wanted so badly. I was so excited when I got it. It's no ordinary music box. It has 4 different scenes from The Nutcracker, the curtains open and close in between each scene, and it plays 8 different songs from The Nutcracker. :)
Every little detail is taken care of. There are things to see everywhere you turn. It sure made Christmas memorable growing up here. :)
Do you like decorating for Christmas? Do you go all out or keep it simple??
P.S. I'm doing a Christmas guest post over at Mrs. DTF today! Check it out if you have a sec.
P.P.S. Be sure to enter the Christmas Giveaway Extravaganza if you haven't yet! It ends Christmas Eve at Midnight!

oh gentri, this is BEAUTIFUL! i love the night glow...so pretty.
that nutcracker music box sure is something. we usually put wreaths up on the windows outside and have a live tree. plus, we put wreaths on our gates...even though not many people see them since we live way out in the country.(:

I cannot take how absolutely PERFECT everything looks -- these photos could be in a home magazine! haha It looks stunningly gorgeous, so great to have such pretty things to look at around the holidays :) I would pin ALL of these if they were on pinterest!
Perfection!! Your house looks so festive! Have a Merry Christmas!!
Wow awesome tree! It's so full and I love the red twigs sticking out!
Oh fun!! :D
I love it!! It makes me a little homesick. My poor little apartment is so lacking in the Christmas decorations category. :( But I plan on stocking up after Christmas for next year!!
beautiful-the epitome of what christmas should look like.
oooh! a-mazing, gentri! my mom does a great job making our house festive too. love the music box! the movie barbie in a nutcracker is one of my favorites (well, that was random...;) merry christmas to you!!!!
Your house is gorgeous!! Holy cow! :)

I don't have a Christmas tree of my own, but where our family comes together in few days, we'll have a tree for sure :)

What a gorgeous tree!!! And I really love your music box. That really would be a special gift. I'd love to see the actual Nutcracker ballet someday!
We keep it simple around here, mostly because we don't really have a lot of decorations. And everything we have is hand-me-down from someone else. I like it that way, though!!
these pictures remind me of the christmas my mom would always create at my childhood home. I love this time of year so much! I was definitely raised to go All out for just about every single holiday. I'm slowly gathering more decorations each year! I love it!

I love all of the pictures of the trees! And it's snowing on your page. That is absolutely amazing.

WOOOW! She's talented! I want to be one of those moms that decorates for every holiday.. That would be soo cool! I've started to do that..and it gets kind of pricey..and I want to buy everything at once..but it's kind of unwise to do that.. I've realized I have to start a stash and collection and build on it each year. Wow.. That was long.. SOrry!

Oh wow! These are some amazing decorations!!! I really love the nutcracker music box! So cool! I've never seen anything like that.
sooo so so beautiful :) hope you have a very merry christmas!
i love the music box! It's all soo pretty and yes! Magical. (:
i tend to be simple... mainly because i don't have a ton of christmas stuff. i do the same thing every year... before christmas i don't want to buy anything because i know it will all be like 70% off after christmas, but after christmas i don't want to buy anything - even - if it's super cheap, because i spent all my money on presents. this year i am making myself buy a few things! xoxo!
so so super pretty i'm so glad you shared this!
I use to go all out, and then refined, and now I want to do somewhere in the middle LOL
I am hoping to hit the after xmas sales!
Merry Christmas!
So pretty! I need to start accumulating decor since I'm married and we have a house! Dang Christmas stuff is actually kind of expensive! Lol. Like a big wreath for over a $100! So slowly but surely :) Merry Christmas! PS. I finished the Hunger Games last night!
