Starting last week…. and going through the end of December…. I am going to include/encourage everyone to share their outdoor AND indoor Christmas decorations for Outdoor Wednesdays.

Greenery in the form of trees, wreaths and garland are from outside…… and they are inside for the holidays… yes, I am stretching the definition of Outdoor Wednesday…. but I can!!!

Other Outdoor photos are welcome (as usual).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I am showing the living room decorated for Christmas! Last week, we selected a live tree… and here is the live tree in the stand…and with lights….

    Wow Susan,
    Your home looks like Santa Land! It's so festive and colorful, there's no way to not get in the holiday mood sitting there with not one, but two trees. How do you have the time to do all that?!! It looks great, thanks for sharing your home with us.
    I hope you'll stop by sometime soon

    Love your trees -- especially the Santa one -- was thinking about getting another tree and just putting the Santa ornaments on it-- they outnumber any other kind of ornament it seems!

    Beautiful decorations throughout!

    Hi Susan,
    Christi already said what I was thinking "It looks like a Christmas Wonderland".
    I love the idea of a tree just for Santa's, everything looks magical.
    Thanks for hosting our gathering again today.

    Okay, just how many Santas do you have? I love Santas, but my collection pales in comparison. Have you thought about opening a Santa Museum and opening it to tourists? I've be first in line!

    I enjoyed seeing your inside decorations. I have a lot of Santas too but have never done a tree just for them. I have done one with angels.
