CHRISTmas not holiday in this house!

A personalized present this year from my Mom
See that red button? Push it and the nativity star lights up, sings and tells the story of baby Jesus. A gift one year, from my Mother-in-law. The cupcakes LOVE it! They play it over AND OVER AGAIN (and over and over).
CHRISTmas angel wings for the tree.
A special wreath made by my cutie, I mean tough guy Tub-a-wub, Storm Trooper, Jedi, Lego Man Collector Guy (and many more names he has for himself).
CHRISTmas garland homemade by the big brother in the family. My big 8 year old.

And a large family always has A LOT of stockings. Where am I gonna put the 'Bun in the oven's' stocking next year?
Happy Birthday Jesus!!!!!

Love the personalized teddies from your Mum, and that wreath - must do that with my kids.

I love to see other people's Christmas Decor. Thanks for sharing yours.

I am blogging daily until Christmas Eve about my decor, traditions and food here in Northern Ireland.

I love how you have the stockings displayed (I'm sure you'll be able to squeeze one more in there)! Kids decorations are so cute - I still have the hand garland my daughter made when she was in 1st grade!

I love all of the handmade decorations and ornaments...they hold much more meaning and long lasting memories.

I pushed and PUSHED the red button but could not hear the story.

Bet out of all you treasure the handmade chain the best because your children made it. I just saw one on a show where they put a scripture inside each of 25 links of one as a advent calendar. The kids got to open and read one each day.

Thank you so much for showing us.
