Show and Tell Tuesday
Currently we have a small tree that we put up in our guest room. I love coming home and seeing it as I pull into my driveway. I decorate the small tree with my Radio ornaments I have been collecting for years and my Waterford ornaments from my childhood. My grandmother (my Mom's mother) gave me Waterford ornaments when I was a little girl. I have one that says babies first Christmas and one for each of the following years and they have the 12 days of Christmas. They are glass so they really add a beautiful element to my Christmas tree.

New Radko ornament this year
I love to decorate in my kitchen and love a mixture of things. I have a Ventri Old Saint Nick table runner, Spode Christmas tree plates and the trees are from Pottery Barn a couple of years ago.
Since we don't have a big tree in our living room I like to make sure my mantel has something on it so I at least get to see twinkle lights in there. I had my mantel piece made about 3 years ago and the bow on it and my tree match. :-) I had a garland from Front Gate that was pre-lit and then I had someone add the ornaments and details for me.
My husband and I both love skiing and VAIL, CO so outside on my front doors I went with a more woodsy theme. My wreaths were also made by the same lady who made my mantel piece and bow for my tree. The wreaths are also pre-lit from Front Gate. If you have been looking for pre-lit wreaths or garland I highly recommend Front Gate. I have had both the garland and the wreaths for 8 years and the lights still work!! I did put the lights on my wreaths on a timer so that they don't run all day.
What is your favorite decoration in your house? How many trees do you decorate? What holiday tradition do you enjoy the most?
