Holiday open house

dsc04551Now that the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is over, it’s time to start organizing the Holiday Homes Tour!

The big day is Monday, December 22.

Show us your favorite part of the holidays at your domicile.  Do you have a ginormous tree or a petite one?  Will you show us the stockings hung by the chimney with care or do you hang them on a bookshelf?  Do you decorate with glitter and gilt or are you into pine cones and items from nature?  Or, if you don’t decorate your home, are there decorations nearby that make you smile?

All you have to do is leave a comment here by Friday, December 19 telling me that you are participating.  Please also leave your blog URL in the body of the comment so that I can easily cut and paste.

The photos in this post are a couple of sneak peeks from our preliminary run at decorating Jenworld this weekend.  We have everything done but the tree, which we’ll take care of this coming weekend, when we’ll trek to a nearby tree farm into the vast wilds of Virginia and spend 15 minutes hours seeking the perfect specimen.

On a related note, the Eco Women will be posting on Eco Holidays all week.  Wander over there to learn how to have your greenest Christmas ever!

So, to recap:  Leave a comment with your URL.  Then, start decorating!

I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone decorates!

    And now I have a wee bit more inspiration to get cracking with the decorating.

    Have never tried to insert a link in a comment before so my apologies if it doesn’t work….

  9. jenny says:

  12. bdaiss says:

    Count me in…I’ll be taking pics during the cookie exchange on Saturday! : )

  13. I don’t do much decorating, but I’ll take pics of what I do.

  14. alison says:

    Thought I was already in. Apparently not. Three words though, Lower the Bar People (OK four words). Mine will be the Christmas decorating of the woman who just dropped $850 on snow tires and rims… Think budget.

  15. Jaina says:

    I’ll see if I can actually do this, either way I’ll be really excited to see what everyone posts.

  16. TX Poppet says:

    I’ll do it, but only because You are doing the asking.

  17. Vanessa says:

    Ok ok ok, I’ve had many requests for photos of my new home and this seems like as good of time as any. Count me in!
