My tree has a poinsettia theme. I have a poinsettia star on the top, silk poinsettias and ribbon with a poinsettia design.
I also have the tree full of crystal icicles which I have been collecting for years.
Can you believe, I found this electric fireplace at a yard sale for $40. I have a ceramic village on the mantel. An appliqued quilt is hanging above the fireplace.
My nativity set is displayed on top of the entertainment center.
DH loves the nutcrackers. I had the center one and just purchased the two tall ones at a thrift shop for $2.00 each.
This is my angel collection. I didn't intentionally set out to collect angels, most are gifts. I realized that I did have a small collection, so I displayed them together.
I purchased the angel below at Macy's in NYC.
When the candles are lit, this little brass chime tinkles. Luckily, I found that when placed on the window sill, the heat from the baseboard heater activates it.
My dining chandelier has three different garlands and more of the crystal icicles.
We were snowed in today, so I spent the day baking. I made snickerdoodles, chocolate-peanut butter fudge, scones, and wonderful little loaves of a festive cake that Prudent & Practical posted on Foodie Friday.

In the photo below I have two different garlands over the china cupboard and a cute wooden snowman.
Moving into the kitchen, I put a garland over the kitchen cupboard.

You fireplace looks lovely and that is a great collection of nutcrackers!
Oh how nice your home looks! I especially like that nativity scene.
Hi Karen,
Your home is just soooo lovely, warm, and inviting. It looks like you are ready for the holidays!
We were down in Williamsport yesterday and heard about the snow in State College. Here in northeast PA, we avoided it totally. Isn't that weird? Seems like we always are the ones to get hit hard. Hope you got a lot of great baking done. Sounds yummy! Amy :)
Karen, Your decorations look so lovely. Since, I'm going to be mainly at my Mother's home, I didn't put up any decorations in my house, just a small tree in My Mother's apartment. I'm going to be posting my daughter's Christmas pics of her nutcrackers, take a peek. Hugs, Jill

Everything looks just gorgeous, so pretty and festive.
I used to have one of those little ornaments with the 4 candles that caused the angel to turn & bells to ring, I wonder whatever happened to it?
Merry Christmas from Normandy

Boy, you look Christmasy, Karen! Love seeing all of your decor, and I particularly loved seeing that little brass candle that turns from the heat. We had one like that when I was little, and I loved watching it SO much.
Beautiful tree and angel collection!
