Christmas

Moving on…to our Christmas-y Dining Room!

This is probably the last of my subdued Christmas decorations.  The rest of the house is out of control.

Be prepared.

Welcome to our Christmas-y dining room!

I cleaned all the clutter off the table for you guys and everything.  If you spot a left over craft remnnat laying on the floor somewhere, just ignore it.  Sweeping is just too much to ask for.

I even removed a random sports bra that was laying across one of the chairs.

Just kidding.  It wasn’t random.  I totally took it off in the middle of dinner last night.  Being 30 weeks pregnant, I simply couldn’t stand it any longer.  None of my bras fit anymore…maybe Santa will bring me a few.  Enough about boobs.  Let’s talk about deer.

They are all the rage right now huh?  Antlers hanging everywhere.  I grew up staring at deer heads on our walls.  It made me sad.  I doubt you will ever find any hanging on mine.

My little sister made fun of my cheap plastic ornaments.  Thanks sis!

Sweet little Santa ornament.

I wonder what I will cook for dinner tonight?

Oh look…another deer.

I made this arrangement a few years ago.  I decided to stick a few gold twigs in it this time around.

My husband hates eating dinner at the dinner table.

I’m not sure why really.  The dining room table is literally 5 steps away from the couch that he prefers.

I prefer the table.  I shall win this battle some day.  Some…day…

    Hi! I came over from a feature and checked out your other posts. My hubby is the same! I am too only because I want to eat dinner with him and our dining room is off the other side of our kitchen so we would be in two separate areas. I will win some day too, especially with two kids now. Nice decorations too. My dining room table is my wrapping station so it’s a hot mess right now!

      Hey Megan! Thank you for stopping by! Maybe one day they will see things our way! I haven’t even started wrapping presents yet…should probably get on that…

    I like your deer with the ornaments clustered around it. Looks great! I really love that vase you put together with the pine cones! I know what you mean about the deer heads on the wall…I’m not a fancier of that one either. My in-laws have several around their place and it creeps me out. Perhaps it’s ok though when they are faux :-)

      Thank you Liz! Definitely a little more comfortable around the faux ones!

    It all looks so pretty! I too am a fan of deer…as long as they are fake! Then, I LOVE them! Life to the full! Melissa

    Luisa, I sincerely hope you win the battle of the dinner table vs. couch. I don’t even want to tell you how many years it has been and I still have not won that one. It used to really bother me, but I just sort of gave in and decided that he works a really long day (he does) and has a very stressful job full of responsibilities (it’s true) so I decided that if it helped him unwind by eating his dinner in front of the tv while watching PTI (Pardon the Interruption) on ESPN, than I was going to live with it. Sure, I would prefer we all sat at the table, enjoyed the WONDERFUL meals I prepare (Hee … I actually do) together and discus our days, world events the European Central Bank, Greek economy, etc. … but …. we don’t. So I grin and bear it and just thank God I am married to a wonderful man who works so hard to provide a lovely home for us and just doesn’t see the problem with couch – eating. Haha. Oh well. I’m pulling for you though! You have such a beautiful dining room, it’s a shame not to enjoy it. :)

      Oh, I am sure that we are not the only ones who have had this battle! You made some very good points though and I do consider those too! :-)
