Christmas decorating is so much fun!

Every year I long for the few weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's, so that I can dig out all of my Christmas decorations.  I start with the front porch and move my way through the house hanging lights and all things that glitter and sparkle.  I love the soft, romantic feel the lights give the house in the evening and how it reflects off the windows and other decorations.  I have so many favorites...I cannot begin to list them all, but here is a sampling of some Holiday decor ideas that we love.

Thanksgiving...where did you go?

I love Thanksgiving.  I love it's stressfree, casual environment and, of course, the food!  It seems to me Thanksgiving gets skipped over every year.  It is sandwiched so closely between Halloween and Christmas that it just gets forgotten.  Having a retail store myself, I see how easily it happens.  I will be spending the next few weeks getting the store all decorated and stocked for Christmas, which means putting away the fall items to make way for the red and green to take over.  Well, if you are like me, you will hang on to the fall decor to the bitter end.  That includes having a beautiful fall centerpiece to celebrate your fabulous Thanksgiving feast!  Check out some of the gorgeous table pieces I love.
