"A Home Transformed by Christmas Magic", or,
"I Finally Got All the Kids' Junk Picked Up So I Could Post Some
Pictures of our Christmas Decorations".
I don't know what look I was going for; I just knew I wanted my tree glittering & encrusted!
This is one of our favorite traditions: the pickle ornament! My friend Marti gave this to us a few years back...tradition dictates that the first person to find the pickle ornament on Christmas morning would get an extra gift from St. Nicholas. At our house, it's a dollar, and the kids go crazy over this! Maybe we'll up the stakes to $5 next year.
Our well-loved and well-used collection of Christmas books. 
I finally splurged on the bay-leaf garland I've been eyeing for a few years!
Ok, so the nativity isn't looking so hot. To date, we have lost-who are we kidding....the kids have broken-Joseph, a wiseman, an angel, a shepherd boy, a sheep, and baby Jesus (if you look closely you can see he's in pieces this year). Let's just say that porcelain figures and porcelain tile don't mix. But it's the idea of the nativity that counts, right? 
I found this coffee table on someone's curb a few weeks ago. I sanded it down & restained it. I really like it in here. It gives this little room an even cozier feeling. 
My favorite find this year was some mistletoe! I have been looking for this for years!
And of course, what husband would complain about a little mistletoe hung over the bed? ;)

It all looks beautiful.
Your "decking of the halls" looks absolutely lovely! We also do the pickle tradition, though I don't know why -- this is the first year anyone other than Kasia has even a chance of finding it.
We also got a bay leaf garland last year, which we hung at the top of our fireplace mirror. We liked it so much, we never took it down!
Wow! Looks beautiful! Merry Christmas!
all wonderful decorations. I wonder though, is there really a tree under all that glitter? Oh, wait, I think I see a few needles....
Your house looks awesome just like out of a magazine!
Looks gorgeous! I try not to spend much on other holidays so I can make Christmas feel really special. Wish I could see it in person. You are too cute about the mistletoe.
Beautiful.
Everything looks so lovely. I especially love the garland!
...and, it's even prettier in person. I laughed out loud about the mistletoe above the bed. You're so fun!
Tiffany, I finally made your Zuppa Toscana soup and it really was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing that recipe. It is a keeper for sure.
Your house looks amazing! It looks like you copied it out of a magazine...it is very beautiful. Hope your family has a Merry Christmas, tell Tim Hello from me!

Hanging the mistletoe over the bed..such a cute idea!

Oh my goodness, what a sight to behold. It all looks so beautiful. You are such a talented decorator! We loved the Christmas card...it dosn't get much cuter than the Johnsons! love ya!
Tiff,
I have that same pickle ornament! My sister gave it to Kaleb when he was one. She use to call him pickle. I am so glad it didn't stick!! Glad to see you had a great Christmas.
Beautiful and classy! Nice reflection of the decorator.
I love your tree! I love Christmas trees that are positively dripping with stuff - beautiful!
Hey Tiffany,
I got your Christmas card today in the mail. Thanks so much. You guys look great. I tried to email Tim but the email address I have for him bounced. Can you send me his new email address? Thanks.
