I also want to Thank all of you for very kind comments. I am sorry that I have not been able to visit but I am STILL decorating!!
I am trying to change things up a bit and do something different in every room so it is taking me much longer than I thought it would.

First, I want to start with my very Victorian Dining Room Tree which is Tree # 2.

I bought some LED lights to use with the other lights on the tree.

Sam's Club had these for $19.99......

I used them mainly in the middle of the tree so it would look like it was illuminated from the inside out......

I also use pink and clear flower lights on this tree....

This tree is a 7 foot slim tree that I bought in Lowe's several years off at 75% off and paid only $17.00 for it!

I have about 900 lights on this tree. I like my trees bright and I tend to go over the usual rule of 100 lights per foot of tree.

I bought this shimmery fabric garland on Clearance at Target several years ago and decided to finally use it.

I thought it would reflect the lights....

I then added beaded garland, ornaments and frosted pink flowers.....

And sparkling Baby's Breath....

I just love this Victorian style stocking.....

This Santa sits on a small table next to the tree

The bottom of the tree.

I made the tree skirt....

All lit up...

This is a hand made Santa that I bought at a Craft Fair several years ago.....

I love the pink velvet embossed with roses...

My Dining Room is my most Victorian looking room.....

She was a flea market find....

See the small pink Santa on the shelf.....

A little vignette on the top of the stereo....

I still have the stereo system that we bought when we were first married 33 years ago....

A Lenox Santa.....

And Faux goodies!!

My " fake" window....

I did not want to be able to look into the Kitchen so I hung curtains over the pass through.....

A swag I made in sage green and pink.....

My Melodium plays Christmas songs....

One of my Christmas Villages....

This one is on display on the Buffet.....

Angels....

My Sitting Santa...

The alpine tree is one of two that I got at a flea market. I added a set of 60 LED lights to it.

So this is Tree # 3......

The whole village , except for 2 houses that I added, was a complete set at Sam's Club several years ago.....

3 of the houses are fiberoptic....

The cute doll ornament was gifted to me by my dear friend, Anne Marie.....

Here are some close ups of the Village......

Love the way the Village looks at night.......

Love this Santa plate.....

The paper mache' Santa was a Salvation Army find for $5.00 a few years ago.....

A white feather tree, Victorian dolls and another angel.....

The top of the Hutch....

This Nativity Set is an old Home Interiors piece and I bought it 33 years ago for the first Christmas that we were married....

I love to decorate the old windows that I have hung as dividers between the Living Room and the Dining Room....

And another angel....

I will show you the table and the Chandy at a later date.

I didn't get a chance to decorate the chandy yet and the Dining Room table is my staging area
right now . I unpack everything on the table when I am decorating....
