Boomama's Christmas House Tour - 2008!



Welcome!


I am so glad you stopped over for a visit. I am in the middle of a Christmas that is quickly becoming a panic filled time of hustle and bustle, but I would love to take a minute to show you my house and all the decorations, maybe it will even help me get some sore-lacking Christmas cheer.


Here is our tree. It is a snowman theme and holds a snowman collection I started about ten years ago.

Here is my favorite ornament. It was a gift the first Christmas after my daughter was born and I love it.
While you are here, please sit and have some goodies. This is my Christmas china. I will inherit my mother's Lenox Holiday pattern, but since I want to NEVER do that... I went ahead and bought this pattern for myself. It cheers me up as it is on display all year round in my china cabinet.

We are now in the Kitchen. I love to decorate in here as well, although this year, it is a bit sparse. Here is the pretty little tree that holds my Coca-Cola ornament collection. I started this collection after my friend Laura got me hooked on all things Coca-cola. The only problem is that the place I bought these from is no longer in business, so I need to find some more ornaments, or get a smaller tree.




Snowman have drifted into the kitchen this year, and here is a foam snow globe that my daughter made one afternoon here at the table. We are attempting arts and crafts this year...help!

Finally we are back here in the living room. This is the fireplace and mantle all decked out for Christmas. I tried something new with the garland this year, I kinda like it...and my stockings fall from that stocking holder, so I am thinking it will be replaced next year. The red chair sits by the fireplace and is my favorite chair in the house. Helping keep it warm this year are Mr. and Mrs. Gingerbread, my daughter loves to pull them out of this chair and make them sit on the cold, hard floor...she is such a sweet Christmas elf!


I hope you have enjoyed the tour. One last picture before you go, here is my piano all set with my hymnal and just hoping I find some time in all this hullabaloo to play a few beloved Christmas carols this year. Here's hoping!




Merry Christmas! Stop over again, anytime. And don't forget to take a candy cane with you as you leave.

Merry, Merry

And, a little off topic, but that Dan Fogelberg song is one of my very favorites! Thanks for putting it on your blog!

I love that you ended this tour with a hymn book open to Christmas carols. Brings back memories of hours of piano practice as a kid!!!
