Welcome to my 2020 Christmas Tour! This has become quite a tradition on the blog, and it's so fun to see how our home and holiday decor has changed over the years. You can see a list of past Christmas Tours at the end of this post. Let's take a look...
We bought a few poinsettias from choir, and Suzette sent the fresh wreath from Lynch Creek Farms.
The doormat is new this year from Sam's.
Albie sitting nicely, being bribed with a dog treat. We had to move the tree this year due to the new fish tank, and I love how you can see it from the front door.
A few simple things on the entry way table. I just can't let go of the soft tree with button-on ornaments from the toddler years!
This photo is actually from last year. Right now the dining room table is covered with sewing projects.
I love the skinny tree in the study.
This tree is filled with memories from the UK.
I bought this light-up Santa phone box on Amazon this year.
I hung my childhood stocking that my Gram made in the study too.
This was my first year to do this, and I was inspired by Slices of Life.
Moving on to the living room, the tree is in a slightly awkward position, but that is what would work with the furniture and fish tank!
Some festive pillows from TJ Maxx last year.
Here's the ornament to represent my theme this year.
You might remember I bought all red truck wrapping paper!
Here is Grace's ornament for 2020 - a diploma.
She wrote her school and graduation date on the back.
Here is Jack's ornament for the year - a wooden angelfish from Etsy.
It was bittersweet putting this ornament up this year.
Michael's dad made several of these for us over the years.
A view of the kitchen
I am really enjoying the Pioneer Woman plates.
The Mrs. Meyer's Pine soap and dish soap smell so fresh.
Don't go looking for the beautiful (ha, ha) advent calendar online!
We bought it at HEB (grocery store) in about 2002.
A festive pine-scented candle and a puzzle just for fun
Our Amish quilted centerpiece with the German candle carousel
More red trucks in the cocoa bar
At the kitchen desk, we have a little tree and some advent calendars.
Jack has a Lego Harry Potter advent calendar, and Grace has the Body Shop.
Albie got a dog version from Sam's. He loves it!
This photo is from last year. Jack hasn't had time to set up the Lego village yet for this year.
Another photo from last year - we haven't started a holiday puzzle yet.
I kept the entertainment center the same as last year, with our nativity set,
special pictures, and snow globes.
Our stockings. Rocky James the elf hangs out on the mantle. Michael and Grace picked up the yellow elf (Smitty) on a father-daughter trip to New Orleans, and now he is part of the decor too.
A new little tree from Hobby Lobby
We were feeling unmotivated about getting our outdoor lights up, made worse by Michael's knee surgery. One night at about 8pm, Jack said let's go put the lights up. And so we did! It's the first time I've put up the lights in my pajamas!
Here is our short but sweet Christmas bucket list for this year!
I hope you enjoyed the Christmas Decor tour this year!
Here are some of our Christmas decorations from previous years:
