Christmas Home Tour
Will you share a photo of your home at Christmas?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Homemaking on Saturday, December 27, 2008 10:26 AM
During the Christmas season, it is a wonderful blessing to visit the family and friends and see their homes all decorated for Christmas.
Over at CatholicMom.com, I’ve decided to hold a little Christmas Open House and welcome you into our humble abode.
I’m no Martha Stewart, but it’s fun to lay out the decorations we’ve accumulated over the years and see our home warmly lit with candles and twinkling lights. If you note the photo above, you’ll see that a random guitar manages to make its way into every photo - instruments have taken the place of trucks and lost Legos in my home’s decor, but they still signify that a “real family” lives in this home!
Would you like to share a bit of your home, all dressed up for the holidays? How about a peek at your adorable family, all dressed up for Christmas Mass? Please use the form below to share a link to your personal Christmas pictures of any kind and we’ll all pop in for a little visit. No need to do dishes or pick up dirty laundry. We promise to bring a tray of cookies when we stop by!

In the background of the pictures you will see the plywood Christmas Tree Corner shelves my husband built for me. Allergies have forced us to abandon fresh trees.

Danielle - I can’t believe how tall you tree is!! Loved your photos - thanks so much for sharing them. May, I didn’t see any photos on your post - am I looking at the correct link? It’s so fun to take a peek at the homes of our online friends!

This years trip from Nebraska to my MIL’s cabin seemed to take forever, first a snow day which delayed our departure for my son’s high school finals, then a flat tire in St. Louis which made us spend the night so we could buy a new tire in the morning, then freezing rain caused us to spend the night in Kentucky. Finally we made it to the cabin on Christmas Eve and decorated a little tree. We were SO happy to finally make it!

I just love this idea, and have enjoyed my peeks into everyone’s homes!! I need to go back and give some comments now that I have more time. I finally jumped on the bandwagon myself tonight. I may post more photos on my blog in the next few days. Isn’t it fun taking photos of those little things in our homes that put the happy in your heart? Christmas stuff or otherwise, these are the things that make a house a home. And our family of course. : )
Glad to be part of this.

I’m having too much fun with this. It’s felt like a new assignment from my art school days. I always loved new assignments. So I did a ‘round 2’ around my house, camera in hand, just for the fun of it all. Drop over and see if you’d like! And feel free to omment and subscribe to our blog!
