As you step into the house, you will find 2 pictures in the entryway. This first one was sewn by me about 25 years ago! I have always been in love with Santa's! I believe this was my first counted cross stitch project!
This picture was just made by me last winter. I found it in a free sample magazine I received in the mail and loved it to I made something for myself once again!
My powder room is decorated with pine trees. These candle trees were given to me by my husband about 12 years ago. The picture does not do them justice... they are pretty neat little trees.
As you come into my kitchen, you will find this bucket on the counter top filled with past years Santa pictures, this years Christmas cards from friends and a bunch of candy canes!
I have been collecting Santa's since I was a teen. You will find bunches of them all over my house. This bunch is on the countertop next to my fridge. I also have an old mason jar with Hershey Kisses here and one filled with my Boxtops for Education.

(Psssstttttt.... Don't eat those pretzels! They were put in that jar about 20 years ago when my sister gifted me the jar with a santa lid. They look ok... but I would still not eat them!!)
Now come into my living room. This bunch of Santa's is on top of my tv cabinet.
The mantle.............
and last but not least.... The Tree................

............... This tree is filled with Santa ornaments. I have 3 ornaments on here that are not a Santa.
I hope you enjoyed my house tour. There is so much more to show but I did not want to bore you. Later in the week, I will be showing some of my DH's Christmas things. He has his own tree in our rec room.

I like your Santas. I love cross stitch. My Mom made my stocking by cross stitching it. It's so special to me.
Beautiful decorations. Now you know why I don't show photos of mine! Love the old sleds (hubby won't be mad if I call them old, will he?).
I love your beautiful home all festive and happy. Thanks for dropping by. Come back again. I hope you will.
Kasey... I keep saying I am going to do cross stitched stockings but I have not started them yet. I better do that soon or I will have to add gradchildren to the list by the time I actually get to it!
Debbie.... I am older than my DH so by calling his sleds old you ahve called me old too!! LOL!!
Carol,
I really love your santa collection - those skinny ones make me smile ;-)

LOVE your Santa's. I'm rethinking the sled I passed by in an antique store now - may just have to run back to get it!
Oh, the carolers! I just have to have that pattern. Haven't done needlework in years, but I'd pick up some thread for that one! Love it!
So glad you joined the tour with us.
Merry Christmas from not-so-frugal-Carol at She Lives!
Everything looks great - - - I especially love all the tall Santa's on top of the TV.
