A Christmas Tour of Lights

It’s no secret…Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday!  With all of the joy and good tidings and…Christmas lights.  Yes.  I love decorating for Christmas and seeing all of the warm and cozy lights.

Last night, I told Hubby “I just LOVE Christmas lights!”  This may be why we have something Christmasy and all aglow in about every. single. room. of. our. house.  I might be like Clark Griswold, but hopefully not that over the top.

I love Clark's light display in Christmas Vacation :)

Well, I thought I’d take you on a little tour of our home and the little light displays in the different rooms.  Grab a mug of hot cocoa, bowl of popcorn, and enjoy the show 🙂

In the kitchen...I am LOVING the little lamps...they give off such a warm glow.  This little Santa, tree, and skier are too cute :)

Every year, we just love getting out the Christmas decorations and making our home all festive.  Having our home all decorated for Christmas makes my heart smile.  It makes me feel like Buddy the Elf…

Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed my little Christmas Tour of Lights.  Our home is nothing fancy, but it’s perfect for us.  I always love seeing how other people decorate their home for the holidays.  Oh, how fun it would be if we’d have a “Tour of Homes” at Christmas time!

What are some of your favorite Christmas decorations you put out?  What makes you smile?  Post a picture or two.  Or tell us about your favorite Christmas decorations.  If you’re like me…it’s hard to pick just one.  🙂
