Good December Day to one and all!
Welcome to our Mini Country Christmas Home Tour.
Dave and I have enjoyed decorating our home for Christmas, I made two grapevine wreaths for the front door.
The tutorial for these wreaths is right here.
It has been a real labor of life making our home welcoming and cozy for our family.
This year we enlisted the help of professionals to put up our outdoor Christmas lights.
This is a no-fall zone!
We used Elks Lighting and we are so happy with the results.

| Mini Christmas Home Tour In Mississippi |
In setting the tone for this tour please join me in turning on your favorite Christmas music while I listen to mine. I am a real fan of Silver Bells.
Oh and I also have the most lovely Opal House scented candle lit (Holiday Spruce.)
Christmas time is such a joyful and at times a very melancholy time of the year for me. Seems my emotions go from exhilarated joy to melancholy, but today we focus on the joy of the season!

| Warm Southern December Evenings |
December in Mississippi has been mild.
We have had lovley mild and days and evenings.
So Sadie, Dave and I have enjoyed quiet evenings on the front porch with the warm glow of Christmas lights engulfing as the end of the day gives way to darkness.
Honestly, I long for December days with glittery, crunchy snow and I'll make no promises about not being in a Winter Wonderland next year at this time.

| Our nostalgic Christmas Tree in Foyer |
Nostalgic Christmas Tree In Foyer
They foyer in our Mississippi home is large enough to have a skinny Christmas tree.
So I used the Tree which I purchased back in September when I styled a Fall Harvest Tree for our home.
This petite Christmas Tree is perfect for a few of my Keepsake Christmas ornaments from my Children's young years and believe it or not from my childhood too!
I am not even sure how I have held on to everything like I have,.
These multiple moves these past few years and clear across the U.S. have been very trying.

| Gold, White, and Copper Christmas |
Gold, White, Silver and Rose Gold Christmas Themed Christmas Tree
In our Living room I place our medium size flocked Christmas Tree and went with a gold, white and rose gold theme combined with stars and farmhouse bisque style affirmation ornaments.
Truly the Foyer Christmas Tree and Living Room Christmas Tree mirror one another with colors.
I topped it all off with faux white fur tree skirt.
I found this wonderful bisque ornaments at Walmart in November.

| Remember the reason for the Season! |
Homemaking during the Holidays is always extra special and at the same time can cause some stress. So I hope you'll find moments to relax and enjoy these days of December.
Thank you for joining me today for our Mini Christmas Home Tour.
May we all honor the reason for the season and find joy in those wonderful, magical and unexpected corners of life!
