This is an ornament we got for our second year together - because we were too broke the first year - during a trip to Dollywood's craft fair. We have two more on the tree, another with just the two of us from the next year and one from the year Little AM got here.
Part of Jason's Christmas village, which sits atop the entertainment center. We had this up for a couple of years before we (meaning my ordained minister husband) realized our town had no church. Heathens!
Obligatory tree shot. Much the same as last year, but with gold and brown ornaments instead of silver and gold.
And yes, there's a star on top, you just can't see it in this shot.
Good thing I shot this when I did, because all the lights blew out simultaneously a couple of days ago on this garland. It's where all our "special" (read: not matching our tree) ornaments live.
Our nativity, which, for the sake of accuracy, has the Magi far away from the baby. Because there's every reason to believe he was a toddler when they finally got there, and we have to be BC (biblically correct) at my house.
My table - in a flash of inspiration (and trying to figure out what to do with all those silver ornaments that weren't going on the tree) I flipped my cake dome over and filled the resultant bowl with all sorts of silvery things.
My kitchen - the penguin stuff was a gift last year from my Aunt Debi. There are also cute little penguin-shaped pot holders, but I think they were dirty when I was shooting these.
Yes, I have a tree and an angel overlooking my toilet. Truth is, we used to get a new angel every year, so I use the old ones to decorate around the house.
And yes, I have a trifle bowl full of ornaments and some candles on the back of my toilet. I learned during a tour of homes a few years ago that the secret to "real" Christmas decorating is to put a little something in every room. Besides, I had to find a use for the green and burgandy balls I no longer use on the tree.
And finally, AM's room door. I made the wreath a couple of years ago using Dollar Tree materials and some spare ribbon I had hanging around. You can also see her affinity for stickers, High School Musical, and signs that tell folks to keep out.
Thanks for stopping by - I think I blew Blogger's mind with all these pictures!

Somebody has to watch over the toilet! Love all your decorations!
do you turn the angel around when you're sitting on the throne?
i probably would. but i'm weird.
Very nice decorations, I love them! Your house looks very cozy!
Thanks - and Valerie, I don't think too much about that angel. Whether it bothers Jason as he's facing the toilet or not, I have no clue.
He's a man of few words, and even fewer when it comes to the powder room.
Fun! I love the idea of the ornaments in the bowl--even in the bathroom! I have a few Christmas things up in my bathroom, too, but they are on the walls, not the back of the toilet.
