How to Decorate a Christmas Tree
Use What You Have Christmas Decor
Now it’s your turn. I cannot wait to see your creative, beautiful, imperfect homes. Did you notice all the wonderful imperfections in my home? Be sure to leave a few comments at some of the places you visit. I’ll leave this post up for a few days so we’ll have time to browse. I want to thank BooMama again for entrusting me with the tour of tours!
Remember, all you need to do is enter the PERMALINK to your tour post into the place after you click some button down there. I amaze me with my clarity of words.
If you have any questions about the tour or if your link is gone Click here. Don’t forget to leave a comment to enter to win your choice of this bag or this bag {5 winners} Special thanks to DaySpring for sponsoring this post, for providing the door prizes, and for providing us with beautiful, meaningful home decor.
PS, for those of you asking why I have no comments on the old posts, I just moved to Wordpress Saturday, like 2 days ago and ding a ling Blogger is not letting us import your 84,000 comments. And the comments are like half the blog. And they are the fun part. And I am sad about it. And hopefully they will be back soon.

ENTER ME… your home is gorg. love everything.. your trees WOW, and I love the arrangements of the aqua frames hung your wall.
So beautiful! Found your site via Big Mama blog and so glad I stopped by!!
I LOVE looking at other people’s holiday decorations. My house is soo small to do anything except put up a tree…so looking at other people’s always makes me happy! Thanks for sharing and opening your homes to us!
Hey Nester! (We met at the very first Blissdom) I know how to fix that pesky Wordpress comment transfer problem. Email me if you want to know. It’s a bit techy, but not impossible to do.
P.S. Your stuff is so inspiring. In fact, it inspired me to get off my rear and finally (FINALLY!) decorate my entry way. It’s been downhill from there, to the point that my husband now calls Goodwill my Crackwill, I’m always there scoping for decorating finds. Thanks for helping me turn my house into a home!
LOVE the video- how cute!!! You continue to be part of my day.. THANK YOU & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
~Ashly
Thnak you Thank you Thank you for doing this. I have had so much fun, looking at everyone’s (well, I haven’t made it to EVERYONE, yet) decorations and reading the comments on my blog.

Love all your decorations! And LOVE your frames in your stairway… I might have to be a copycat on that one! Yay for DaySpring giveaways. I just love their stuff!
Wow! I must be the grinch b/c I never even thought to decorate more than the one room with the one tree. What fun, and so inspiring – I just might try two rooms this year!
We’ll be touring until Christmas! Wow!!! What an amazing turnout for the fun. Thanks for hosting!!
Nester: I love your white tree! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!

I would love to win one of those bags you posted, thanks for the chance! You’re blog is one of my favorites, thanks for sharing your home and great ideas with us!
I’m new to your blog and I enjoyed seeing your home decorated for Christmas – definitely gave me some ideas! I especially loved the version of “Jingle Bells” you used for your slideshow — can you tell me who it is by?
Wow – I just love your home – it’s so elegantly decorated. What really stands out for me are those candle holders with the silhouettes on them – I would love to have some of those – I wonder if I can get them in the UK!?
I love your home and all of your decor. I completely forgot about this, is it too late to add my photos? Oh, and I hope I am not to late to enter the giveaway. :)
Wow! I am so inspired and I would love a new bag! :-)

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN! I was so excited to get into the tour that I almost forgot to leave a comment on your B-E-A-U-tiful home! It is so fresh and warm! I have a hard time combining those two feelings in my own home, but you do it effortlessly! I enjoyed your tour!

Your home is beautiful!

Hi!
Thanks for hosting! I’m going to try and figure this out when I get home!!!
Love you!
Tammy
I love the tour. I don’t think I’ll make it all the way through. Well, I might, but then I won’t do my laundry or wrap my presents……..
I love the bags!!!
Your home is just lovely! Thanks so much for sharing. Happy Holidays & Many Blessings
Campbelljane
i LOVE those nativity hurricanes you have in your video. i’ve been drooling over them in the Dayspring store for weeks! :)
I feel a little unworthy, but it was fun to put in my house just the same!
Ok, I sort-of figured things out after taking up three spaces in your list of links!!! 1081 is mine!! It’s still not perfect, I know, because my permalink goes to all of December’s archives. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to only link to one post. When I clicked on the title, an address did not come up in the tool bar. :( Why am I the slowest learner ever known to man??????? Anyway, you can definitely delete 1080 which is my blog address that takes you nowhere. The “simply christmas” link either came up coincidentally at the same time I was trying to load mine or it is a mistake as well. (My post is called “Simply Christmas” too.) How funny!
Ok, now that you are thoroughly confused, I am going to head to bed.
Enough blogging drama for one night!
God bless you and may your Christmas be WONDERFUL!
Much love,
tammy nischan (your new and not-so-quick to learn blogging friend!)
Wow! I’m link 1083! I can’t believe this linky party came out so huge, that’s fantastic! Thanks for hosting! Thanks for all the inspiration! I LOVE your blog!
Okay, 3x and I think I finally got it. It pays to read the rules! Thanks for all the inspiration.
wow…fun to see what everyone has done. moving here, but I will set up the tree again, even for just the 4 days…
I hope you are enjoying the snow we have finally gotten here in NC!!!!:)
so cute. did i see framed pix in the white tree? a little thing i would have never thought of, but LOVE. sometimes space for pix is sparse (my hubby is a photographer, so there ais always an abundance of pix), but there are just some pix i love. i’m thinking i could get a handful of med. size frames, add the pix, and bring them out with the treasured ornaments and christmas tree every year!
All I can say is Wow! You’re home is so beautiful. I actually wanted to cry because I do miss our large apartment. But, I’m glad that we have a place to live and really have tried to make it homey.
Thank you for the tour!
Thank you for hosting! Thank you for giving me a deadline to get my Christmas decorations done–we have enjoyed them all week! Now if I could just get the Christmas cards in the mail! :)
I’m a newbie to your blog and loved seeing all your delicious decorations!!!

I’m late to the party, I finally got my house photographed and it’s closed! Oh, well, I’m still going to link back, although I think it would take me the rest of my life to go through all those links!
TRYING THIS AGAIN. I was kind of a lamo this year. Thanks for the inspirational white tree…totally copied. :) Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Nester. I’m trying this again. Totally copied your white tree.
I’m late to the party and I’m still wading through all of these amazing links and *loving* it!! I’m going to link to my decor I just got around posting and link back to you still! Thanks for hosting – what an awesome turn out!
