Last year (2017) we had colored lights on the house. We had bought them the day after Christmas in 2016. Right after Christmas last year (2017) Nick gave us a bunch of brand new, unused white icicle lights. We decided we would do an every other year dealio with the house lights. Colored lights for odd years and white lights for even years.
The 2018 outside!

And here, in completely random order, the festive inside of the house!
The coffee table in the family room.
Ginger's memorial by the fireplace.
The mantel
Entertainment center in the family room. It got Elliott's birthday cards added to it. And yes, he got three of the same card.
The piano. This was the first Christmas we had the piano. It was fun to decorate.
Shelf behind the couch in the family room.
The kitchen window. The Santa banner above the window is new. Actually, so are the mistletoe bells at each end. And so are two of the big bids and both little birds. This whole display is new!
Kitchen cabinets.
The garage door leading into the laundry room.
Pantry door
In the kitchen. This was new too. I got both banners from the Target Dollar spot. I think they were $3 each.
Looking into the dining room.
Dining room
Right server with the nativity collection.
My favorite new thing this year.
The dish hutch in the dining room.
On top of the wine refrigerator.
New centerpiece for the dining room table. New candles too. The crystal holders were wedding gifts.
Left server in the dining room. None of those nativities are new.
The old entry way table that we moved into the dining room for the moose nativity. I'm not sure where we will keep it during the year.
The new red entry way table! I put the same stuff on it. The runner is new though.
Entry way
The living room
The new tree!
The ever growing collection of frames and snow globes.
The 2018 collection.
Living room entertainment center. The blue tree in the middle on the top is new. I don't know why I didn't get a tree like that years ago. It is perfect!
Other parts of the entry way
Coat closet door
My favorite place at Christmas time!
Do I have to take it all down now?!
