I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

I decided to take you on a little tour this year of our home all lit up in the Evening.......
First , we will see how our townhouse house looks at night all decked out and lit up........
I do want to show you pictures of the outside that I took last night during the snow storm that hit the east coast.
 This was after I shoveled the sidewalks for the 3rd time......
 Joe worked in it, delivering mail , all day.....
 And I had the pleasure of driving to work in it at night.......
 Because, Hospitals do not have snow days and do not shut down during a storm......
 I am not afraid to drive in snow because I have driven through all kinds of weather for 35 years BUT......
 I am just tired of having to drive in it and long for the days when I can admire it from my windows and not have to worry about having to go out in it to get to work.......
 Enough of that.....

Won't you please come in.........
 When you walk in the front door and look straight ahead, this is what you see.....
 The garland on the stair railing.....

The Living Room

Joe's Grandmother's Hutch......
The corner by the stairs.....
Looking down the Hall Way toward the Kitchen....
You can see the Dining Room Tree lit through the curtains on the window divider.....
The other corner by the Dining Room....
My Praying Santas....
Looking over at the Tree.....
The wreath lit on my fake window......
The Tree and Village

On top of the Entertainment Center......

Santa reading to the Children.....


The Dining Room

The Tree.....
The corner by the Kitchen....
The Buffet......
 Top of the Hutch.....
The Chandy......


The Kitchen


The Hutch......
The Tree......
Back to the Hutch.....

The Pass Through..........
On the Counter.....
Top of the Refrigerator......
The Counter Bar......


The Powder Room

I have a set of blue and white battery operated lights on this Tree.....


The Blue does not photograph well no matter what I tried so I apologize.......
Little LED lights on the shelf....
I turned off the blue and it is really no better........
But you get the picture.......
And that concludes our Evening Tour and it also concludes our 2013 Christmas Tour of our Home!

 I hope you enjoyed our Christmas Home Tour of our little townhouse this year......

Since I did not have the time to decorate our whole house like I usually do, here are links to the Den decorated for Christmas last year : Click HERE

And the Upstairs decorated last year: Click HERE

Soon I will be sharing with you a Tour of one of my favorite places to go to for Christmas Inspiration, Country Folks Gift Store.

I posted a 3 part Tour  of this incredible Store which is a 3 story converted  Barn and has Display House, 3 years ago.
HERE is a link to that Tour if you are interested......

    I don't know where to begin! You are so fortunate to have a lovely home! The Christmas lighting on the outside is beautiful with the precious angels by your bench! The praying Santas are new to me and very special! Thanks for sharing this and have a Merry Christmas!

    Your camera is so good at capturing dark lighting. Pure Christmas magic. Hands down, I'm always thrilled when I see your village under your Christmas tree. I would gladly curl up on your floor and just stare at all your wonderful decorations.

    Merry Christmas, Debbie!

    What a spectacular light show!
    I love it all, but my favourite has to be the living room tree and lit up village-just magic!
    Thanks for sharing Debbie
