Welcome to my Media Room finally decorated for Christmas.

I made an effort to scale down the decor this year in this room.

The Fireplace and TV..

My motto this year ~ keep it simple and I think I did.

The Santa on the left with my “clearance sale tree” and vintage iron star.

The Santa on the right ~

The driftwood piece on the hearth embellished with gold pinecone ornaments.

A view into our little kitchenette ~

A vignette on top of the pie safe

The hubby had collected vintage Coca-Cola items..

And this calendar is brought out every year..

This Santa is very special ~ ~ it was given to me by my dear friend who passed away.

~ ~ Ruth and I called each other on Christmas day a few years ago and laughed so hard . .

~ ~ ~ ~ til we cried, as we gave each other the same Christmas gift!..

We have done that a couple of times in the past ~ I miss her laugh and her spirit.

A tree that is left for my granddaughter to decorate for her own.

A “little bird” to “watch over us”

My felted wool Santas that I made at Crafty Chicks a few years ago..

Another one of my vintage quilted Santas ..

~ ~ really have to attend the McIntosh Fair in Florida again..they have fabulous vendors

~ ~ ~ ~ such as the vendor that makes these great Santas from vintage quilts.

The tray on the ottoman dressed for the holidays..

Another vignette

I have several Nativity Sets, but this is my favorite . .

~ ~ handmade clay pieces from Guatemala.

I always had a 7 foot tree filled with my collection of Hallmark ornaments..

~ ~ but instead a small pine tree is in its place this year.

The tree sits atop these vintage picnic baskets.

Placed my “Santa Moose” (a gift from my friend Linda as a remembrance of our Jackson Hole trip)..

~ ~ and a lantern.

Thank you for bearing with me on this very long post ~

~ ~ trying to get these all done by the end of the week…

And on that note ~ ~
