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….

    Beautiful decorations throughout!
