I shared some outdoor photos but promised an indoor tour, so here we go. I wish you all, my dear readers, a holiday that allows for whatever you are experiencing in your heart. Whether you are happy, sad, or perhaps alone this holiday, I hope that one or more of these photos might bring a smile to your face. I have broken the tour into two parts, today the bedroom and family room, then tomorrow, the library, & dining room. Laters, charisse
Welcome to my home. I have collected Santas for years, and this one sits in the foyer near the stairs. He is the newest addition, a gift from KBJ.Isn’t his expression beautiful? The eyes reminded me of my great grandfather. He had the bluest eyes that twinkled with mischief.My bedroom. This year I set up an ornament tree, and all the ornaments are dogs (& a few cats), collected over many years. Each is a reminder of dogs I have had or known or just breeds I like. Lots, and lots of memories rekindled as I hung them.This year I made a basket wreath to hang on the mirror.
The ornament tree all decked out.A few of my favorites.
This fella sits atop the armoire directly across from the end of the bed.This Santa sits on a dresser to the right of the bed, and is a favorite.
Now to the family room.…..
I messed up. See the pillow on the sofa that looks gray? Well, it got turned around. The correct side shows a lovely Christmas polar bear. Oh well!This tree is decorated with natural cones, pods, birds and some ball ornaments, close up photos of a few below.
Santa on the mantle.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!
Thank you for stopping by. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Day. Tomorrow, the rest of the tour. Laters, charisse

Just lovely!!! You are so talented, Charisse! That Santa with the Great Grandfather Eyes has a perfect St. Nick face!! I love all of the close up photos. (I think I saw a Sheltie in your ornament tree.) 😃😃 Thanks for sharing your beautiful Christmas decor. 🎄🎄 Time for wassail and cookies!
KBJ helped me with the outside, and yes, it does take time, especially the inside, but I enjoy doing it. During the hours it takes I reflect back on my life during the preceding year, as well as allowing for the memories of all the Christmas before this one; and happy or sad, it reminds me that life ebbs and flows, and I am glad to still be a part of it.

What a massive undertaking, but so very worth it. No wonder you have a Christmas storage room. Love, love, love it all.
