...isn't so perfect. It's not about the "stuff" but more important the journey to Christmas. It's about celebrating those you love. Some of our favorite family holiday traditions involve annual family reunion christmas parties, cutting down the biggest Christmas tree we can manage, having a special Christmas Eve family dinner, giving my kids Christmas pj's to unwrap the night before, and still reading "The Night Before Christmas" every year to my grown up kids. It gets us all warm and fuzzy. {images} Happy journey through the holidays!

The stirrups, lassos or cowboy boots are all authentic and may differ very slightly as these are often used items which highlight the rustic quality of the design. I love to use beautiful, high quality artificial foliage and glittery accents against rustic items to give the decorations an interesting, beautiful and unique aesthetic that all can appreciate.

Today I'm sharing a post from back in 2016 that is one of my all-time most read posts. I thought I might "refurbish" the content, but instead just added to it a bit to include "Cottage" which has emerged this last few years. If it feels a little dated, decor trends have shifted and redefined themselves this last couple of years. I thought it would be fun just to take a quick look at some of the different "Styles of Christmas". Farmhouse Fixer Upper I believe in letting your home dictate (maybe "nudge") your style. As I've wandered through Pinterest, I thought I'd share some inspiration from a few of the trends we have in decor, now. Farmhouse is such a big trend right now; this style depends heavily on functional furniture, accessories, and usually neutrals with limited amount of color. Little Farmstead Farmhouse 5540 Hymns and Verses Twelve On Main Buckets of Burlap Most of the Coastal decorating is found in homes close to the Coast, but a few people decorate with this vibe that just love all things "Beach" and appreciate the lighter colors of sand and sea. Seaside colors of pale blues and watery greens predominate in Coastal Decor. Coastal Sand and Sisal Another trend in decorating which started with "Shabby Chic" and overlaps into Farmhouse and an aesthetic from the Scandinavian bloggers. Whites, neutrals and vintage pieces again form the base for this style. French Nordic / Shabby Chic / White Farmhouse Dreamy Whites French Country Cottage Live Love DIY Nelly Vintage Home French Larkspur Laughing With Angels Gwen Moss Vintage Cottage A Cozy Little Cottage Christmas Tour I guess I would have to say I fall into this next category somewhat. I love an English Cottage feel to my home, and even though I love vintage, French Country, white, and farmhouse elements, (with a little "Shabby" thrown in) I like and appreciate some color and diversity in my decor. I think each room should have some dark and light, different woods (some painted), paint palette, and fabrics. If you're basically traditional you can mix other trends more easily to have a result that's unique and all your own. The use of red and green is a hallmark of the Traditional Christmas Style Traditional Craftberry Bush Beaux Reves For Christmas this is my go-to style. I love the traditional colors and style that Tartan Plaid lends itself to. I like English Cottage, Vintage, and a little Woodsy/ Rustic for a mix. Plaid Traditional The Polohouse Celebrating Everyday Life. Far Above Rubies Common Ground Roots North and South And another take on Plaid that's always fun for Christmas. Woodsy Cabin Plaid Sweet Something Design The Wicker House Another one of my favorite styles... French Country Evi's Country Snippets French Country Cottage Of course, any style can pull from a different color palette, but I think Pastels really lend themselves to the lighter feel of a feminine take on French Country, and Shabby. Vintage Pastel Nelly Vintage Home Shabby Fufu So what's your favorite style or style mix for the Holidays? I know I've left out so many styles, but these are my favorites in decorating for Christmas. I've tried to give credit if a watermark was shown, if not they all can be found in my Pinterest Boards for Christmas.

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I enjoyed a lovely afternoon on Saturday going to the Christmas House Tours and then out to supper with my daughters. On Sunday we hosted our annual family pizza party for 30 and the grandchildren exchanged gifts adding to the fun. I love this casual party. I think this room has an English cottage look although it does have a bit of French as well. The tea tray is set if you have time for tea. Friendly Village tea cups. You can see my collection of Friendly Village china has made it's way back out to the cupboard for the Christmas/Winter season. Father Christmas stands watch in the corner. Well, it is hard to believe that this time next week Christmas is over but thankfully the joy of the season will still linger. Thank you for stopping by, Carolyn
