ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE, NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING (except in a pot on the stove)
I'm joining two of our favorite Blogville Susans! You'll find Deck the Halls links at Thoughts from Over the Rainbow. If I remember to link to it, I'm also joining Tablescape Thursday. Of course, those links are at Between Naps on the Porch.

Laurie-you have been a busy little bee! Not a decoration in sight in my master bedroom--unless you count my husband's red hunting longjohns draped over the chair :) I love that nativity on your beautiful table--the faces are so real. Wish I could see the Christmas eve pageant! Merry merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas, Laurie! and by the looks of all you've done it will be for all who enter your home!
Enjoy!

My, my, my!! You certainly know how to deck the halls!!! Everything is fabulous! I love the tablescape. And I love your silver deer & sleigh on your master bedroom mantle. I think I have the exact same one. I'm going to use mine for my Christmas tablescape. Only if I can get it done tonight & take photos to post tomorrow. Then we can compare if they are the same ones or not. I love everything you shared with us.

Laurie~ it's nice to know I'm not alone in the Santa collection obsession. He's just so darn cute and I like a man who looks like he enjoys good cookin',lol.
We also share a very similar if not exact Christmas dinner plates.
I pulled mine out for our Christmas Eve dinner too, but switched to the white and silver china to match the theme of the decor I had going.
I really enjoyed the look see. You really pull out all the stops.
What a wonderfully festive surrounding for your family and friends.
Sweet wishes,
