Candy Canes & Christmas Scenes

Christmas is nearly here!  

 So over the next few days, I thought I'd show you a few of my holiday decorations around the house...

Above is my candy cane holder.  

 It's a fun and cute way to display the sweet treats, and invites holiday guests to take one as a parting favor. Who could resist?!?

Below is a little scene in my kitchen...

The little shelf holds a snowman cookie jar, a set of Spode St. Nick dessert plates, and a pair of charming, jumbo nordic mugs ~ perfect for hot cocoa!

Above is my dining room.  

In it, I have two trees - one is my "sweet tree" filled with gingerbread cookie ornaments, candy canes, ribbon candy, lollipops, candy snowflakes, cookies, and assorted candies -

and the other tree is a smaller, tabletop tree filled with silver bells, red and silver glass balls, and small cookie ornaments.

And my little Byers' Choice Bakerkins Elves sit atop my buffet...

In my dining room hutch is my Christmas village.  I adore lighted village scenes for fall and Christmas ~ looking at the glowing lights of the little shops and houses all aglow in a blanket of snow.  Below you can see closeups of a few of the buildings.  I have quite a collection  so I switch them up a little each year. This year is my "Main Street" view, with tiny shops and townspeople, a village church with carolers, a skating pond on a hillside, an animated toy shop that plays music and has a revolving train, and a theater with animated Nutcracker ballet dancers!

Hope you enjoyed the tour so far! 

I have A LOT more to show you so stop back soon!
