Ok, here is the photos of our home decorated for Christmas. We went with a snowman theme. It seemed more appropriate this year. More child friendly than the more elegant tree we have been doing these past several years.
Thanks to Martin's sister, Sarah Jayne, we had quite the collection of snowman ornaments. She has sent us a pair of them for quite a few years now. Included on the tree was also other wintery ornaments, like Martin's skiing Santa, etc... I found white glittery snowflake picks in the floral section at JoAnn's. Tucked them in the tree here and there and it looked really cute! Steph let me borrow her tree skirt. (Tucked under the tree is my sock monkey collection. All of these but one are Christmas monkeys) I also had no tree topper and was in a quandary as to what to do... Sitting on the shelf beside the tree was a snow person, which had legs and a weight in it's bottom. I climbed up and sat it on top, and tah! dah! Tree topper! The snowman had a rag scarf and the final touch to the tree was strips of plaid fabric (ripped and raggedy) tied on the branches.
You can see some of the snowmen sitting on shelves and tables. The red stocking is for the cats!! The wooden (spindle) skinny snowmen I made several years ago after my BFF Katrina made some and sent a pair to me.
Our living room. 
Here are the spindle snowmen that katrina made. Notice the tumbling snowmen. They were part of our Christmas decor growing up. Somehow or other I acquired them. They were so cute to put out with this year's theme.
Moving on to the dining room...
The dining room.
The snowman was found this summer at Goodwill. It had been a florist planter.
Made a cute utensil holder for 79 cents.
Tucked extra bits of real greenery here and there. Here some is in the kitchen window, along with ripening Cherry tomatoes. They look like Christmas baubles. :)
Can you tell how windy it was that day?? Look at the swinging star lights!! Along with them, there was a straight row of white lights along the roof/gutter line. I made a wreath for the front door and used the leftover boughs and wired them along the fence for a garland. It looked nice for a few days and then we had horrid heat and no matter how often we watered it, it dried up and turned brown! YUCK!
Tucked a few sparkly snowflake picks into it. Normally I would add a large bow &/or poinsettias.
