Magpie Ethel Christmas House Snippets, Part Three

More holiday snippets to share today.  I do love the Christmas Season.

One of my favorite holiday decorations is a garland that I hang between the living and dining rooms.  It hangs from fishing line from wood ceiling trim and hugs my ceiling arch.  I decorate it with a mass of colorful shiny brites.  This is my photo from Instagram this year. (the photo has my most likes ever for a photo...at 1287!)

A little spin through the dining room today.

I have my frame with the photos of my kids on their Santa visits.  I decoupaged this frame years ago with color copies of old greeting cards.  There are 15 photos of my kids and Santa.  I did a blog post on it way back when in more detail here.

I did not think I collected many more Santas this year, but my china hutch top certainly is very full of the jolly fellow.

Santa mugs in the cabinet.  Santa figures above.

The light up fellow on the far right is new this year.

The largest Santa is new this year as well. He is styrofoam and I bought him to resell. That never happened.

Ive also got a little forest of vintage bottlebrush trees lined up on my window valance.
One more snippet to share tomorrow.  Tis the season...

A tour of your house never gets old! I still feel the same as I did when I found you a few years ago!
