Our Christmas Decor

I'm late getting my Christmas decorations posted. I was in the hospital last week and that set me back a tad. I was four hours in ER because I fainted while out shopping. We don't know what caused it.

We have many, many boxes of decorations, but I only put out my Nativity collection and a few other items. I'll start with the decorations in our newly decorated family room which now has a lot of white in it. I used my white Nativities on the end tables next to the new white sofa:


Right side of the sofa:


Bottom of above table:
This  Nativity was a gift from a friend, it lights up and plays music!

 Across the room from the sofa:
 

 

 A new centerpiece on the glass top coffee table:

I found these gorgeous flocked flowers at Home Goods.
The greenery and little bunny came from Michael's

This niche is between the family room and dining room
The vignette is different than usual:
 


 

Moving into the dining room, the centerpiece is very simple,
but features Baby Jesus
 

 

This year's decorating is more minimalistic than ever:
 

This is my newest Nativity, it looks like glass but isn't,
I found it at Hobby Lobby. I buy a new Nativity
every year, only if it is very different.

 It's displayed on the right end of the curio cabinet:
It's hard to get a good picture of it.
 
It really is beautiful.

 I guess I forgot to take a picture of the curio cabinet.

Back to the breakfast nook:
I have the Flight to Egypt Nativity




Last year I bought a few unusual Nativities at an art shoppe
This one is made from wire!


close-up:

Mary is holding Baby Jesus, and two little wire lambs are toward the front.

It is displayed on top of a plant stand.
Also on the little shelves below are two other Nativities
from the art shoppe:

and the one on bottom features a tiny
Nativity inside a tea cup!


The full shot:


The curio cabinet in the dining room:


Other small Nativities are displayed on an antique
muffin stand in the living room:


Another tea cup Nativity:



The following Nativities are displayed in the
formal living room:
The one above, my husband brought me from Italy,
it is displayed on a blue cake stand.


There's a little lost sheep to the one above,
I'm sure it is still packed in the box!

This one is very unique, I found it at Walmart years ago:

This one fits inside a candle lantern box:

The next two are displayed on the Butler's table:
top tray:
To tell the truth - I can't find the little lantern this set is
usually displayed in! I'm still searching for it!

Bottom tray:

Pillow (from Walmart years ago:)


Nativity in a terrarium on end table in living room:
"Away in the Manger" music is framed.

This vignette is at the end of the settee:


Ribbon embroidery Christmas tree pillow:

These are my Partridge in a Pear Tree ornaments
I get the ornaments at Hallmark every year,
I have seven and five more to go!
The white swan was this year's ornament.

I hope you enjoyed seeing a few of my Christmas decorations!
They are more plain, but still pretty!


I'm joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Met. Monday. Click on her name for lots of inspiration!


 Merry Christmas!
