My mom made us this gorgeous wreath-- isn't it beautiful?
The view when you walk in.
A little corner of my kitchen, with my favorite Christmas candle lit-- the "Mistletoe" one from Yankee Candle. It smells just like a real tree for those of you who, like me, have resorted to a fake tree.
Our nativity scene perched atop a bookshelf in our living room.
This decoration sits on my kitchen island. You might remember this same candlestick from the fall when I had an orange candle on the candlestick and put it in a wreath of fall leaves. I love versatile decorations!
Our kitchen table-- remember the wreaths my kids made? We hung them in the windows and they look so cute! I love how cheery the whole corner turned out!
This is the new centerpiece I used this year. I used to have this sitting somewhere else in my other house, but I moved it to the dining room table this year and I just love it there.
Here's another view so you can see how the balls hanging from the chandelier match the balls that are filling up the hurricane.
Our tree, which is a nice unobtrusive narrow one-- perfect for this corner in our new living room.
Our mantle all ready for the stockings to be filled.
And last but not least, a cute little decoration on my coffee table. I got these trees a few days ago and just thought they were too cute! They look like they belong in this house to me. In honor of BooMama's Christmas Tour Of Homes, I am giving a set of these away to one lucky winner. Just leave a comment for your chance to win and make sure that you leave a way for me to get in touch with you (either your email address or your blog is fine).
I will be choosing the winner of the candle giveaway and the winner of the trees on Wednesday. There's still time to enter the candle giveaway if you haven't yet!!

A tour of your house makes me want to come for a visit...ahhhh, sweet memories...I'll be there soon! Miss you...
You house and decorations are beautiful!!
Yes! Those trees do belong at my house :) But they look great at your house too!
I love the balls hanging from your light fixture, and Gooseberry patch! I love those books. Looks like we are kindred spirits!
Your mom did indeed do an excellent job on the wreath! I love your little "Christmas corner" in the kitchen also. Fun decorations!
(I have a giveaway gift on my blog as well if you'd like to visit.)
Merry Christmas!!
Marybeth,
It all looks beautiful! I am sure it was fun decorating your new house for the first time. My children made those wreaths when they were little to (all teens now). By the way I loves those little trees they are so whimsical! I saw some similiar in BHG or some other magazine and loved them.
Sweet Christmas Blessings,
Margaret
You have a beautiful home. I love that you've decorated so many rooms...
Happy holidays!
Thanks for opening your home. I enjoyed my cyber visit. You have decorated beautifully.
You have a beautiful home, it all looks so inviting! Merry Christmas!
Such a beautiful home. I love how you've incorporated your children's handiwork, and how you "reused" your candlestick.
I don't have a coffee table, but after seeing all these pretty homes with coffee table decorations - maybe I need one for the holiday season!
Thanks for opening your home. It's so very lovely!
Your house looks lovely. Thank You for sharing. The wreath is beautiful your mother did a wonderful job.
Have a Marvelous Monday Marybeth!
Hugs,

I didn't participate in the tour of homes, but I'm enjoying looking at everyone else's. I especially love your dining room table!
The little trees are so cute! Thank you for the chance to win...
Your home is cozy and the dining nook is definitely cheery! Isn't this the first Christmas in the new house for you? Or am I behind by about 12 months?
Thank you for sharing the glimpse!

Beautiful! But how do you keep your house so clean with six? I only have three and it's like a whirld wind of "stuff" everywhere!
Beautiful decorations..I love your slim tree!

Your decorations are lovely. I love the wreath on the front door. Could you make come to NE and make one for mine?
It's lovely here this time of year. I think it got up to 8 degrees.
your house looks great! thanks for having us -- merry Christmas!
I love decorations (I typically decorate for every holiday!) and would be honored to have a decoration that I could give credit it to you for! Thanks, Heather
Love the ornaments from your lights over the table.
Mistletoe is our favorite Yankee scent too!
I have tried hanging balls from my chandelier but with no luck. Yours look great, I am going to try again! :-)
I'm with Shari, I want to come visit and see the new place. Better yet, I want to move nearby and be neighbors. Find me a house, Marybeth! And can you change my hubby's mind too? Not that I expect miracles or anything, but it is Christmas after all.
As always, your home not only looks fabulous, but warm, comfortable and inviting. It looks like a happy family lives there!
Everything looks so festive.
Bring on Christmas, it looks like you are ready.
