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!

Christmas in the Living Room, Part 1, Christmas Home Tour, 2016

  Today, I am going to share some of the Christmas decorations in the Living Room......

But first, I want to Thank these Hosts for featuring my post, Christmas in the Upstairs Bathroom, form last week's parties!!

In my last post, I showed you the 2 Trees and my Village in the Living Room.......
 Please click HERE if you missed that post......

Today I want to show you the foyer and the corner by the stairs in our Living Room........

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have decorated the Living Room in a Victorian theme using the traditional Christmas colors of red, green and gold.........

On the right side of the front door when you enter is a marble topped stand.......
 To the left is Joe's Great Grandmother's Hutch......
 On the left of the hutch.....
 I always put a cane by the front door, as nod to the end of the movie "Miracle on 42nd Street " when Chris leaves his cane in the house that Susie Walker wished for...........
 There is a set of LED lighted branches in this brass can.....
  I have Nativity sets and angels displayed inside the hutch......
 But on top of the hutch, are some Christmas Carolers......
 These Carolers were bought at The Christmas Tree Shop several years ago.....
Gold glitter LED lighted trees on each end.....
A swag that I made in the middle.....
 As I mentioned before, Nativities and angels are displayed inside the hutch......
 On the first shelf  inside the hutch is a larger Nativity Set......
Angels are displayed on the 2nd shelf.......
I just bought the lighted Nativity Box in Penney's for 70% off.....
A smaller Nativity set is displayed on the bottom shelf.....
Hanging from the knobs of the drawer on the hutch are 2 Christmas Tussie Mussies that I made......
On the right side of the Hutch......
Looking up the stairs.......
Santa's, a sled and a pair of child's skates on the stairs.......
 Over in the corner.......
 Looking down the hallway to the Kitchen.......
 A swag that I made......
On the marble topped cherub table....
A gold glittered bottle brush tree, a Santa and a snow globe......
One of 2 Trees in the Living Room........
It is decorated with vintage ornaments.......
2 Bearington Bears sit on the chair.......
Underneath the chair........
The Curio.......
Another Tussie Mussie hangs in the corner.......
The swag on top of the curio with a few candle ornaments ......
A Santa head and a pretty Christmas scene plaque to the side......
More Angels and some crystal are displayed in the Curio.....
The bottom half of the curio.......
In my next post, I will be sharing the how I decorated the rest of the Living Room.......
So I hope you will come by and visit  again!!

    I cannot even imagine what it took for you to decorate. In comparison to your house, my decor is sparse yet it too me 2 weeks to get it right.

    You have so many wonderful Christmas treasures and I know with your love of the season it must be wonderful to look around the house and spot favorites.

    Happy Christmas

    Beautiful gold accenting all around and I totally love the nativities all in the hutch, you have some gorgeous sets of them, your collection of angels is lovely too, my mantle is a collection of angles with a small nativity in the center :)

    Wow Debbie, that's a lot of Christmas decorations and they're all so, so pretty. I love how you left the cane at the door. Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favorite movies. I loved the scene where the mailmen dump the entire contents of all those mailbags to prove that Kris was Santa Claus. It's a classic
