Our tree nestled into the corner of Acorn Cottage. I love laying on the couch with a blanket and something hot to drink and gaze at the lights and ornaments each and every night.
This is a German Smoker my husband brought home for me from his trip to Germany. If you have never seen one before, they open up and you put a small incent cone inside and light it. The "smoke" come out of the Toy Makers mouth and it looks like he is really smoking his pipe!
There is no room for anymore gifts! Each year I say I am going to be conservative, and something happens....and I keep finding things that I can't resist. It isn't until the morning of Christmas when I realize I went overboard. What can I say...I love spoiling my family!
One of my most precious decorations of all times. My elves that climb their ladder to help decorate the tree. They are just the cutest thing in the world!Well, I have approximately one hour until the daughter arrives home from college and then chaos will ensue. No doubt more shopping for last minute items and then baking, baking, baking.
I can't wait!!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful CHRISTMAS. May there be much joy and laughter in your homes. Lots of hugs and kisses ( you did remember the mistletoe didn't you????). Some quiet time to reflect on the reason for the season, and memories to last a lifetime! You are all very dear to me and I am so thankful for the friendships I've made. God Bless and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Merry Christmas Nancy -- lovely tree!
I hope you and Dan the Man and the rest of your family have the merriest of Christmases!
Your tree is wonderful -- and I'd be right next to you on the sofa, admiring it also. I LOVE to gaze at Christmas trees.
Enjoy your daughter's visit home -- those visits are so precious! I've got both my girls home for the holiday; it's lovely.
Have a blessed Christmas, and a happy, healthy New Year.
All best wishes, from Cass and family at That Old House!
everything looks beautiful! I hope you had a magical christmas
Beautiful tree and cute little elves. I've never seen anything like those. I know what you mean about the gifts. I wrap all at the same time and sometimes have things I forgot I bought. I always say I am cutting back and this year I did, but still more than will fit under the tree.
I too, like to sit with Christmas music playing and just the Christmas lights on and enjoy the beauty and peace of it all.
Happy Holidays to you Ms "Acorn Cottage." I love your tree and all of your pretty colorful decorations! Makes me smile...big! :)

Nancy,
I have pixies but no ladder! What an adorable decoration! Did you get them together or come up with that idea on your own? I LOVE IT! Your presents under the tree look like our house (glad to know we're not the only family that goes crazy!)
The picture of you and your daughter is so pretty too!
