Stop by my Christmas Blog to see more ideas and things about Christmas!
This is our study, the place where I work on the computer, write out correspondence, do a bit of crafting and overall just hang out. It is decorated with photos and souvenirs of our travels and therefore, our tree here is decorated with ornaments from the places we have been throughout our married life.
Each year I place a copy of our Christmas card photo in a frame and display it in our study over Christmas. Here is one along with a snow Santa made by my friend Barb, who is the administrator of Girlfriends Forever, a wonderful chat site I visit.
Another Christmas card photo... plus another lovely snow Santa made by my friend Barb...
For Bob, who loves golf...
In memory of my father who loved fishing...
In every room of the house, we place a nativity scene. This one was purchased when we went to Mexico for our 25th wedding anniversary.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of the study, all festive and decorated for the holiday!
I love that each one of your Santa is connected to a person or memory. That is so neat!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love the personalized touches...the frame with your most recent Christmas photo, the Santa who fishes...great ideas. I also like the idea of a Nativity in every room.
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw Jupiter and Venus last night, but the are definitely drifting further from the moon. It was an elongated triangle of sorts. Thanks for mentioning it, I'd never have noticed otherwise.
I wish I had thought to get a Nativity when we were in Mexico. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your souvenier tree! I used to collect ornaments from places I visited & then I switched to regional cookbooks...I like your souvenier tree so much that maybe I'll start buying both on my travles. ;o)
ReplyDeleteHappy Trim a Tree Thursday!
I certainly did enjoy it. Thanks!

I love the fisherman santa. Somehow our pics never get taken until Christmas-meaning they never end up in our Christmas cards! Maybe next year, LOL.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Wonderful decorations Terri, with special meaning, too. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow great to have the room where you blog and work on the computer decorated so nicely! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas...Kathy
What a fun idea to have a tree dedicated to where you've been over your lifetime. I like that...
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely memories for all of your lovely things!
ReplyDeleteVery festive, Terri! You're way ahead of me this year!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Terri...memories of Christmas's past and having a tactile notion as well? How great is that? I'm looking at this piece of pie at the bottom of my postit and can nearly taste the lemon!!!

I love the golf santa and the ball holder. My husband is big into golf so that santa hits home!
ReplyDeleteI could hang in a study like that!:)
I have so many Santas (I used to collect them) so I sure enjoyed seeing some of yours.

ReplyDeleteLove all the decorations...can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI just read your profile and see that you are from Jefferson City, MO. We live up by Kansas City, MO and my husband's brick sales territory includes Jeff City. It's a small world!
