Let’s start with the outside where we place garland greenery wrapped in clear lights on all the sections of our post and rail fence, both balconies, the screened deck, and the side entrance. Red bows are also plentiful.
I dearly love to decorate for the Christmas season. There’s just something wonderful about sitting in the living room with only a fire and Christmas tree lights to brighten the room. Phil humors me by helping with the outside decorations and with the Christmas tree. So let me show you around. Let’s start with the outside where we place garland greenery wrapped in clear lights on all the sections of our post and rail fence, both balconies, the screened deck, and the side entrance. Red bows are also plentiful. So why so much greenery, lights, and red bows? For us it’s simple. The red bows represent the ultimate gift. Christ came to lead us to the Father. He willingly gave his life and shed His blood to redeem us. The lights represent Christ as the light of the world. He promised us that whoever follows Him will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life (John 8:12). The greenery represents eternal life. This life will end, but eternal life in the place He has prepared awaits the believer. We also added a few whimsical touches outdoors... Now come inside. We’ll start with our kitchen. I made Christmas Goody Baking wreaths for this area. The Christmas Goody theme continues above the window... Next we move into the dining area... From the dining area we move into the living room area. Moving to our master bedroom... And finally we visit the guest rooms upstairs... Red berry wreaths hang on each door. Toiletries are kept in this Christmas container for guests. This is the front guest room which is done in blue and white. And finally we move to the back guest bedroom... A Santa bear sits on my daddy’s old suitcase. From our house to your house— Merry Christmas!
