Christmas in Shafferland 2018

Anyone up for a house tour? Christmas style? I love seeing people's Christmas decorations; they make me so happy! So if you're a Christmas décor junkie, allow me to feed your obsession today!

Let's start in the kitchen, okay? Grab an imaginary snack on your way through. :) My kitchen theme is...food! Coffee, s'mores, gingerbread, red, white, and cozy. I really love eating meals with a Christmas tree right next to me!




And check out our latest addition to the kitchen. A friend of Ryan's gave him this:
Why, yes! That is a tree made from coffee filters!

Oh and here's the mistletoe corner. Fun fact: the mistletoe was the very first thing Ryan and I purchased after we got engaged! And that snowman picture at the bottom is one I painted last year in a canvas class with my friend Marie!
Yesterday I introduced you to Gracie, the live tree we have in our living room. But she's not the only decoration in there. We have a few other pieces gracing our space! This ornament was a gift to me from my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Bryan. This season marks its thirtieth Christmas.
 The Merrcy Hristmas sign is back for another season. :)
 My grandparents' Bible open to Luke 2.
 My new decoration this year: the art print by Brent Vernon. And...last year's official Christmas photo.
 This corner is my collection of ornaments and décor from people who have passed away. I think of them every time I look at what I inherited from them! (The monogrammed platter is hand painted and was a birthday gift from my talented friend Amber.)
 The stockings were hung by the imaginary chimney with care...
 Gracie...in case you forgot what she looked like:
 One of our new ornaments this year. We got this one during our Midwest Meandering vacation this summer.
 The ornament that summarizes our year...since we read through the Bible this year.
 Our first Christmas:

Our bedroom holds our tree with all the names of Jesus on it:



We put up a tree in the guest room, along with a few other decorations:

A tiny tree in the office, alongside my favorite nativity set.


And just a taste of the outside festivities:


So there you have it! Shafferland 2018...at Christmas! Hope you enjoyed it! :)

You have such gorgeous decorations!

Very nice! I think part of what makes the season special is the temporary nature of the decorations and the fact that so much of the decor is meaningful.
