Large antique burled walnut Armoire – double closet area with two sliding hanging rods and 7 brass hooks. A large beveled mirror covers one of the front facing 3 doors.

Two large, deep drawers under closet area provide great storage for blankets or clothing. Right hand cupboard hides a top hat shelf and 3 drawers underneath.

Features a beautiful cornice top. Three front doors of burled walnut with hand carved wood and brass insets finish the look. All hardware, inside and out is brass. I purchased the armoire in 1971 and at that time was told that it was over 60 years old. It is still in pristine condition.

I love to decorate by decking the halls, trimming the tree and putting up lights outside.

I put the Christmas towels and tea towels out, along with the good China in the dining room.

I start wearing some of Christmas sweaters and the like, and have just discovered the wide array of  Holiday Fun Eyeglasses from Zenni.

Zenni is a site that I’ve ordered glasses from in the past and have had a great experience with them.

The thing that’s so fabulous about is that they have $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses.

That makes it a fabulous place to find glasses that are more fun because it’s so inexpensive to mix and match with your wardrobe. I just love choices!

Be sure to check out their New Arrivals too! Such cute glasses.

Not only will it light up the way when you come home or are going to and from your vehicle in the driveway, but it can also be made to create an ambiance that makes the nightlife more fun, more peaceful and even more festive for Holiday seasons.

Aren’t these amazing? These would love marvelous outside of my daughter’s new home – maybe around their pool…

What I absolutely love is the wide variety of solar lighting now available from places like Outdora to not only save money on electricity, but to live in a more green way.

Some of them work on rechargeable batteries and on solar light to recharge the lights that shine. How pretty would these Chinese-style laterns be on a balmy summer evening as decorative lighting?

There’s no cords, they’re collapsible, portable and require no maintenance. I love these features. It makes decorating outside so much easier, quicker and much more fun!

Now, these are electric, but aren’t they so pretty? They would be a really classy and elegant touch for spicing up your yard with decorative lighting for the Holidays.

I just think these are so very stylish. Also, the electric cord is hidden beneath one of the legs. They can withstand wind and extreme temperatures. I might have to splurge and get some of these…I’m loving them.

Some unique outdoor lighting I saw there too were these gorgeous chameleon smart globes that cycle through different, vibrant colors that work through solar charging, so they cost nothing to operate.

These would be great to stake into the garden, place on a table or in a globe holder or float in a pond or fountain. I’m certain my yougest daughter, Kimberly, would love these as they’re installing a large fountain in the front of their new home…These would be beautiful floating in it…Wow…

Have you seen those beautiful, large Christmas ornaments available now?

How fun are these? I guess you’d need a very large tree to hang them in, if you wanted to hang them…

…but I think they’d look absoutely phenomenal if you bunched them together at different, strategic angles on your lawn, maybe at different levels of your landscaping.

How lovely would that look? I think that woud be perfect for our front lawn as we have a few different levels of our grass. It would be so festive and so unique compared to the traditional decorations.

Other large Christmas ornaments I’ve seen that I love are almost Victorian looking…my favorite decor of all-time! I love a Victorian Christmas and my tree reflects that…

I just fell in love with this Santa on a swing – isn’t that just so cute?

Also, I have 2 Victorian ornaments that look like this beautiful carousel horse, but it’s also one of those large Christmas ornaments from Outdora…Isn’t it gorgeous?

This carousel horse would be beautiful outside on your lawn, on your porch by the front door and even in a strategic place inside your home…

I’m also going to go natural and cut real, live, natural pine branches and put them in my empty urns in the front of my home. Fortunately, I have some holly and pine cones that I’ll put in there too to make a beautiful, winter arrangement.

Also, I have some beautiful gold and silver festive branches that I can add to make it more festive. Then, I will use white, twinkling lights that will accentuate that look. It will be very festive and beautiful…au naturel…

A few other urns, I’m going to add a few small obelisks and make them look like Christmas trees.

I think these will be perfect with the large Christmas decorations to give me a lovely, Victorian-type scene along with the crisp, white snow that is bound to fall.

I’ll have to os when it’s decorated…

I love trimming the tree with gorgeous, Victorian-style ornaments in all pink, of course.

I put candle lights in every window and get out my Nativity Sets.

A few years back, my son-in-law and daughter picked out one of the most beautiful nativities I’ve seen and I proudly display it on my sideboard in the diningroom for Christmas.

I have two lighted reindeers that move for outide, but what I would really love now is a Nativity Scene for my front lawn.

Jesus is the reason for the season and every chance I get I display angels, baby Jesus and crosses at Christmas.

What a beautiful sentiment to be able to share with your neighborhood and passers by a beautiful recreation of what happened that night in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago that changed the world forever.

I always find it so tranquil, peaceful and comforting in knowing God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit are there for you.

A nativity scene always makes the Holidays more special, meaningful and festive, to me anyway.

It makes me want to play hymns on the piano or bake cookies or listen to a beautiful choir on my CD player sing.

The Nativity reminds me of my childhood when my father would read us the scriptures out of the Bible on Christmas Eve that depicted this glorious event, complete with angels, a stable, 3 wise men, and the Christmas star.  It fills my heart with joy and thankfulness.

I was looking around for a great place to purchase a Nativity set and found Outdora.com. They have illuminated sets that I just loved, and they have free shipping! The photo just above is the one I have my eye on, but in the 6 piece version.

It gives a warm, tinted glow and is 6 pieces – Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and the 3 wise men.

You can also purchase separate pieces like a sheep, ox, shepherd or angel by itself to add on.

I like to plan ahead of time and organize everything in my head before I start decorating because I like things to be “different” every year in many ways, but there are those traditional staples you absolutely must have when it comes to Christmas and a nativity is one of them.
