Around the house, upstairs

 Thought I’d go around the house with other Christmas decorations.  I know it is January, but, for us Christmas starts this Saturday!   

We have had this Nativity since my kids were babies, there were a couple of years I could not find it...so bought another, but it was never ‘right’. Bought this from a Christmas around the World party, anyone remember those?

Mantle #1, the big rock lights are IKEA.. the print above(year round) is from our nephew..Phil Mosby...he has a website.  I actually have 4 of his prints around the house.

Closer look at the Joy sign

This is the door sign, our wreath is too thick and the year I hung it up, it ‘fought’ with the screen door.

In the guest room..there was a time I had a tree in each room..maybe once again.   There was this one and one in the office...though office is year round.  A TEXAS tree.

Mantle #2, cannot post full mantle...have pics of grands, and have been told no pics on social media for one set.   The reason I cannot post one of my favorite Christmas decor ever!!! Cuz it is pic of one of the grandkids with Santa.  

This swan has decorated our guest bathroom for years.  Don’t worry it gets a dousing of Lysol spray before and after.. my mom made it for us.

And she made these flowers.  She made paper flowers out of gift tissue paper and wire.   I remember they were a big seller at our yearly elementary school carnival.   

Off to work, I go...which means down the stairs to what was once dh’s man cave.   I should feel guilty......nope!!!
