So, did you get up early today for some Black Friday shopping? What deals did you score?? I went out and found a few gifts for the grand-kiddos. I love the cold, and the hustle and bustle of shopping. It helps me get in the spirit of Christmas and family time.
SOOOO…Last year, the day after Christmas, I started my blog. Most of you weren’t around then, so I thought I would share my Christmas Mantel from last year. (Pardon the photography-I was/am still learning. I am glad I am a “little” better now)
I love white and blue as you know already. The “Kissing Carolers” are from my Grandma’s Christmas decoration collection
Another view of my shelves. The frame was made last year when I started the blog. I have collected icicles as long as I can remember. I bought the “Nativity” when we had only been married 3 yrs. So it is now 31 yrs old. It is a Christmas staple in our home.
Hubby loves Christmas snow globes. I try to buy him a new and unique one every year. I will share his whole collection as I begin to share our Christmas decor. I think he has 16 + as of now. I also set up 3 Christmas trees lined up together. I have new plans and a new vision for them this year.
Do your Christmas decorating visions change every year, too?
Thanks for letting me share some of my Christmas past with you. I am REALLY looking forward to Christmas future!!
Christmas is coming fast. Are you ready? I have most of the shopping done. Just a few more gifts, then it is time to wrap ’em up!!
See you soon on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk, Google +, Stumble Upon, and now LinkedIn!!
Make it a Fantastic Friday!!

Your collections are lovely, Meegan. We collect globes too and display them on our built-in shelves in the tv room. I change things up year to year but there are always some things that never go away like my nativity.
Thanks so much Heather!! You are too sweet. I can’t wait to see your snow globe collection!!
Happy Black Friday :)
Great decorations! I don’t have a lot of Christmas decor right now, so it’s pretty much the same stuff going up year after year. But now that I have a blog, maybe that will change! Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
Looks great! Love the Nativity Scene! Would also love if you’d join our Countdown to Christmas link party! Hope to see you there! Have a great week! :)
