Christmas Tour

Ok, so I'm a day late with this post for BooMama's Christmas Tour of Homes. It's been a busy couple of days: three of my closest friends graduated from A&M (which meant three graduation parties in one day), I was in two Christmas concerts, and last night I had dinner at a friend's house. But you know what? The Wise Men were late to Jesus' birthday, so I'm in good company.

But you don't care about my excuses. You just want to see my Christmas decorations. Here's our tree:Isn't it pretty? My mom did a lovely job. Here are some of my current favorite ornaments:


Yes, that is a fake tree. Less mess, less hassle, and much less sneezing for the girl who's allergic to evergreens. It's also pre-lit!

As I've mentioned a few dozen times, I live in South Texas so my family doesn't have a fireplace. We hang our stockings on the computer room door:
My mom and I both love nativity scenes, so we probably have at least six. Until I went to college, it was always my job to set them all up. This year we only got a few out, but I still love them:

We'll finish up outside. I took these when it snowed a week ago:
I just love Christmas decorations in the snow, especially since this is only the second time I've ever seen our own decorations in snow.

If you're here from BooMama's, thanks for stopping by!

***Updated to say: Since she's letting me live rent-free, I figured I should fess up that it is my mom who is the genius behind all of our decorations (including the nativity in the yard which she made when I was a kid). I've passed along everyone's compliments, and she says "thanks!"
