    I simply love your decorations. They give a nice cozy home feeling even over the computer! The red room is really cool as red is my favorite color but the nativity scene is most beautiful. One because of the story as to who gave it to you and two because I love nativity scenes and have taken to collecting them! Have a blessed day, Sara!
    Blessings~

    The spirit of Christmas oozes through your photos! Snow babies are an integral part of our decorating too. I am right there with everyone else, "cozy, warm and inviting." Thanks for spreading the cheer :)

    I also have the Willow Tree Nativity and love it! My husband started buying me a piece for Christmas every year once we got married and now, after 8 years of wedded bliss, my set is complete! I just love it, and love knowing that we "built" it together.

    Now, where is your stocking Sara?

    You are quite the decorator!

    I guess you get this from your mother?

    Gitz,
    I love the little tree in your bedroom idea! I spend most of my time in my bedroom too (due to disability), and I just recently added a reading nook - hoping to get to spend some time OUT of the bed. I don't see much of my tree though since it's downstairs in the living room . . . so I LOVE the idea to put a tree in there!!
    Enjoyed your pics - great job decorating!
    Wishing you a joyous holiday season!

    Oh I love the decorations! Your trees are beautiful:) You and your mom have quite a flair!
    I'm gonna go on record as voting for the tree to stay up in the red room...here's the thing, you could switch a few little ornaments out with the seasons: snowflakes in January, Hearts- February, Easter eggs-March, umbrellas-April, flowers-May, shells-June, Flags-July,August...haven't a clue, I live in the deep south,I hate August :)...September-School buses and #2 Pencils :), October-pumkins, November-turkeys...(isn't it obvious I've worked with 1st graders!!!)
    Love you and feel cozier just looking at you snuggly home.

    I love the decor. You are inspiring me to share my decorations with the blog world. I especially love the willow tree nativity scene as well. I don't have a willow tree one, but I do have one as I feel that's the most important part of Christmas. As for the stocking, you need one on the mantel too missy!!

    What I like most about you decorations is that each represents a memory. They speak to family and friends.

    Your manger scene is so beautiful in it's simplicity.

    Your decorations speak more to the true spirit of Christmas then all the lights at Rockefeller Plaza.

    I am going to guess that Riley would give St. Nick a hard time if he came down your chimney, unless he brought some prime quality dog food.

    I love your home. Even w/o the decorations I love it. It is SO HOMEY. And I love all of the decorations! :D I'm quite a fan of Willow Tree too. I have lots! ;-)

    I read this post while listening to you sing. It was quite a festive moment for me. :D
