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.

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.

Happy home touring!! I’m off to restart my computer so I can watch your video. My volume won’t come on! But I started it and you look so stinkin cute! LOVE that rack behind you in the video. I have one of those on my Christmas list this year. Found a super fabulous one in the garden department at Target, otherwise known as my home away from home. I should have taken pictures of their holiday dept and submitted here, lol.
I’ve been looking forward to this tour of homes!! Both of the bags you have as prizes are wonderful and inspiring! Thanks so much for hosting!
Amy
Ha! I found you! I love the little photo montage! (Is that the word? Is that how it’s spelled?) Anyhoo, it’s so nice to hear you voice and in living color, thanks for hosting – the apothecary jar collection ROCKS! Heading to TJMaxx tomorrow to pick up some more :) Off to tour…
I have patiently been looking forward to this tour! Can’t wait to see all the beautiful Christmas spirit!! :)
Your site is new to me, so I’m excited to be here and see some beautiful Christmasy homes. Thanks so much, and I’d love to win one of the bags!
Very cool idea!!!! This is my first year to participate. The homes are lovely and I like sharing ideas. Can’t wait to see the rest!!!
You have such an amazing house! I like your video and slide-show – very classy!
I’m so excited about the home tour … this is my first year to participate. Thanks for hosting this and I love your site! Merry Christmas!
What a super fun montage! Thank you so much for sharing that with us…you home looks beautiful {as always} and I love the simple garland with white lights in your dining room! Merry Christmas! God bless. jason and tera {at} gmail {dot} com
I’m so glad the Christmas Tour of Homes is finally here. I linked up our home. Thanks for hosting and thanks to Dayspring for sponsoring. The bags are lovely.
This is so fun! Love the second bag…
I love this tour! So fun!!!
Oh Nester, your house looks beautiful! I just love the soft colors and sparkly accents. And those boys! Where DID you find them, they’re so cute! :)
Thanks for hosting a fabulous party, love the giveaway too!
Oh..how I love the picture of your son next to the hot chocolate~
thanks for making the blog world so very fun!
Sandy Toes
Beautiful! Bright! Elegant! Enjoyed the tour and love the colors and accents you’ve added to your home. Thank you for sharing!
I wish our home was completely decorated so I could show off pictures! It’s so difficult to get the house cleaned and pretty stuff put up with the four, two and a half and 1 year old children trailing behind me making their messes. I know, whine, whine…. Anyway, all the homes look beautiful! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Thank you for hosting this fun event. It’s an encouragement to me that homes don’t need to be decorated to the “hilt” for it to have a warm and loving Christmas feel. May God bless you and your family in the coming new year!
Yay for the Nester! I’m planning on linking up a post tomorrow morning, and then I’ll have to do some visiting. :) Thanks for being such a gracious hostess, Nester.
Too bad none of my wrapping will get done with all these great links to check out! =)
Love this tour and happy to participate for the 1st time this year!
So sorry, I linked the wrong post on # 40 if you want to delete it. I reposted # 42 to the correct post. Thx1
Got it! Thanks girl!
Thanks for hosting…I have been waiting all week for this!
Hugs
Loved, loved, loved, the tour! Thanks for the inspiration. :) Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Joy to the World!! I have been waiting for this… and how exciting we get to hold this at your NEW place!! The sites looks fantastic and I simply can’t wait to tour all the homes!
Thanks for the hospitality!
Kate
What a great party!!! Thanks for the peek into your home! =)
Enjoyed the beautiful tour!
Congrats on your successful move to WordPress! Looks great. WP is so much easier to use than Blogger (it is for me, anyway)–I think you’ll love it!
Aren’t you clever coming up with a video tour/slideshow of your house like that? I haven’t figured out how to do things like that yet. Maybe by NEXT Christmas… :-)
Those bags look great! What a fun giveaway to go with the party. Thanks for hosting it, Nester!
So glad you are hosting this year! Love the Christmas tour!!! I’d love to win a bag!! so fun!
It’s so fun to see you on video, my friend! Your home looks awesome and I’m sure you’re going to crash the whole internet with your enormous party. It’s gonna be a rager! Without the binge drinking and cops coming, of course.
Wow, what a great video! Your home looks so great all decked out for Christmas!! Thanks for hosting such a fun linky party!
i love the bay window with the pine garland all around. just gorgeous!
Thank you so much for hosting this tour. I am very excited to join in the fun.
I hope to visit most of the homes and I hope everyone enjoys my house.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
So excited to be participating…and too see everyone else’s ideas and decor. Love your staircase garland, btw. Hope I win!!
Beautiful, as always. The apothecary jars are my favorite.
Your home is beautiful. Cool and calm and a living example of “who” you are. Thanks for hosting and encouraging others to visit each other. I *wish* I could get to everyone…we’ll see how THAT goes!
Miss you…and I do hope to see you soon :).
great home tour and love the dayspring bags!
LOVE. Everything is so wonderful! Happy to participate in your tour!!
I love your holiday decor! This is such a fun idea. Thanks for hosting the tour and the bags are great too!
Love the video. You’re just so stinkin’ talented!
Wow! I had just said to my son, “I wonder what time Nester will start her home tour. . . then I clicked over to your blog, just in time to be 87th in line! I’d say that people are finding you, all right. Weren’t you brilliant to move to your new site just in time for the tour?! You’re a smart cookie. :)
Your house looks wonderful. Warm and welcoming and very Christmasy, but in a very Nester-ish way. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Looking forward to seeing lots of houses on this tour. And I’m so glad not to have to put on those little blue paper booties to walk through everyone’s homes!
I love seeing all the creativity! Thanks for hosting this tour…and for the giveaway! Merry Christmas. :)
Loved your video! The wreath with the starfish is pretty! Love your tree!
I like the little creatures you had on that shelf :) I’m looking forward to looking at everyone’s decorations.
What a wonderfully festive post this is! The music in your video just captures the happy holiday spirit of your home, and what a stunning home it is! I love all of your decorations and the pictures you took are stunning.
Thank you for hosting this event and for the opportunity to win those lovely bags.
Best Christmas wishes, Natasha.
Everything looks gorgeous! I was feeling guilty about having a simple garland on my mantle this season (I’m old, tired, and pregnant…so I ran out of steam:), so you can imagine my relief when I saw your simple garland this year!!!!:) The guilt just melted away. Have a blessed Christmas season!!!!
I feel like I’m running so behind! I can’t wait to see everyone else’s posts!
Off to ooooohhh and aaaahhhh now!
Wow! your house looks amazing! what a great tour…
Your home is just lovely. But the real beauty was in the photograps of your son sipping cocoa, the tiny tree within the midst of the large frames and the ornaments made by little hands.
Treasure for sure!
Great job around your house! #1 reason I’m diggin’ this post- Frank Sinatra! I always thought you had great taste and that song just sealed the deal! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, ya’ll! So excited to be a part of the tour. Can’t wait to see everyone’s decorations!
I LOVE the tour of your home! And you’ve gotta love the music too…perfect!
My baby and I are dancing to the music on your video. I loved getting a glimpse into your Christmas nest. Thanks so much for doing this!
Merry Christmas, Nester! : )
I love your home, simply gorgeous!! Love the video, and thanks for doing this tour!! Merry Christmas!!
Beautifully decorated home! I so enjoyed that!
I can’t wait to see all of them! Your home looks beautiful, by the way! :)
Your home is gorgeous!! Great job! I’d love a bag!
Your pictures are so inspiring. About that song … My six year old was a little confused when it didn’t say “batman smells”.
I am new to your blog, but I am so excited to find it! Your house is beautiful. I love all the Christmas decorations, especially the feathery wreath
Rats! I wanted to do this again this year, but I don’t have my pictures uploaded to my blog. I guess I’ll have to focus on getting them up tomorrow! Loved looking at the blogs I’ve seen so far.
I Love how light and airy your house is becoming. I am working to move into that direction also. You the greatest.
Your house looks great! I love the little christmas tree hidden in the picture frames and all the great colors! Thanks for doing this tour it gives me such great ideas.
It looks so pretty around there Nester! Especially love the photos of your boys. So sweet!!
See you soon!! I mean, in person and all.
Christmas blessings & xoxo
Melissa
Ohhhh, frantically working to finish up decorations over here…we were late getting started this year due to our house being on the market…better late than never & I’m so excited about this tour!!! This totally trumps all the Christmas shopping I need to be doing…
Now off to watch your video & browse the tour!
Thanks SO much for hosting!
Wow! can’t wait to dive into all the homes.
Nester, thank you for hosting this event.
Peace.
I love your new blog… AND the always FAB tour of homes! I can’t wait to check out all of the blogs and get some great new ideas for my new house!! :)
I love the Breathe Deeply bag… I need one! :)
Merry Christmas!
I love your video…so creative! And the song put me right in the spirit for some holiday home tours! Thanks for hosting! Happy Holidays!
~Meg
Thank you for a lovely tour! I’m looking forward to visiting so many friends on the tour…
Fabulous! I love touring other people’s homes. Thanks Nester!
Love it, Nester! I especially love your stair rail. Is that what that’s called? I can’t remember, but you know what I mean! Can’t wait to link up! I’m a day late, I think, but I’ll get it done! Looks beautiful!
I LOVE this! Your house is so pretty! I love looking at Christmas decorations – I feel like Christmas came early! :)
I love all your decorations and especially loved how festive the garland in your dining room looks! The giveaway bags are really cute!
Awesome video! And I’m going to have so much fun looking at all the homes on tour….I can’t believe there’s already 156! Thanks for being you!
I love the red beads you have running down your tree. I have never thought about doing that with beads.
Thanks for hosting the home tours. Can’t wait to see how everyone decorates for the holiday. Merry Christmas!
Lisa :)
So cute, I would love to win.
Can someone tell me what happened to the linky..I was #38 and then I suddenly disaapeared…..I’m so confussed. I have entered the linky again but was wondering if anyone else had this same problem…

http://ordfamily.sk8erord.com/?p=1177
thanks so much!
BTW your house is incredible!!!!
Triana, I got it.
Beautiful home!! I am a bag person- would love one of those!!
Your house looks great! I love how everything matches but still gives off the feeling of Christmas. Just goes to show you don’t have to submit yourself to the “tacky” Christmas decor out there to enjoy the holiday spirit. Can’t wait to see the rest of the links in the tour! Thanks!
I adore your video! How precious your home looks all decorated for Christmas! I love how you can see your own personal style shining through with all the bird nests and such. How fun this tour of homes is! Thanks so much for hosting it! =)
Love the video (especially the music!), and am looking forward to going visiting!
Thanks for hosting!
Cate
How am I ever gonna find time to look through all of these wonderful tours? I have a feeling I’m not going to get much sleep tonight! :) Thank you for hosting, I really, REALLY enjoy your site.
Hi, Nester! Thank you so much for hosting. :) I LOVE your video…the pictures set to music were perfect. Your house looks like something from Better Homes & Gardens–it’s beautiful!!! :)
Thanks for hosting the tour. Can’t wait to get some more inspiration. I especially like that you have captured the true meaning of Christmas in your decorations.
Your home looks amazing!
This is so fun!! Thank you. :)
This is so much fun! Thanks for hosting the tour. I love your tree with all the colorful ribbon cascading down. Happy touring!
Your home look so pretty and cozy! Can’t wait to see everyones decorations! Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Love it! I really like you white tree and the white feather chandler drops. LOOKS AMAZING!!
I noticed that my house was not featured in your video. It must have accidentally got left off. Was it the hodge podge clump of ornaments at the bottom the tree or the Michael Jordan poster on my front door? I love looking at those type of houses, I just don’t know how to have one. Merry Christmas!
Love the video! And only just now “saw” the pictures drawn on the chalkboard with the word “Emmanuel”. Too funny! Ahhh, life with boys!
Thanks so much for taking on the tour, Nester! And for the chance to win!
Your home is gorgeous! I’ve been inspired for next year (this year I don’t have the energy I normally do…) and can’t wait to take a look at all the other participants homes. Thanks for hosting!
Oh man, I almost missed it! Wasn’t it scheduled for the 14th? Oops! Lu-huve that Christmas song. One of my favorites! Your house looks wonderful!
What a gorgeous home and tour! :)
Thank you very much for hosting such a wonderful and inspiring party!
This is great – so many good ideas I can’t wait to try.
Thanks!

Oh, Mrs. Nester, I love your holiday home and beautiful Christmas decor. Puts me in the mood to finish up my decorating. I’m not a blogger. I just read about 300 or more every week. Yes, I have no life. Ha! But if my PC ever crashes, I may go through serious withdrawals from not being able to feel connected to so many wonderful blogs like yours. Bless you for inviting us into your warm and wonderful home.
I absolutely LOVE all of your decor! Just gorgeous! And what a fun video too. I linked up! :)
love, love, love the video.. especially the two shots w your boys in them… on the couch and drinin’ hot cocoa… lovely! :) your style is awesome!
{too intimidated now to post shots of my house!} :o will try to tomorrow if still goin’ on… :)
merry christmas

Love the video, and your home looks gorgeous as always. The little touches of Christmas here and there add such holiday charm. Love it!!
Hi Nester. Thank you for hosting this great event. I am so happy to be a part of it. I wish I didn’t have to go to work today, then I could just sit here and visit everybody. Well I guess there is a whole Christmas holiday to do that.
I’m so glad the tour is finally here. I have been working on my decorations since Nov 21 and was so excited to share. And get ideas for next year!
Love the video!!! Always love seeing how other people decorate for Christmas! May your family have a wonderful Christmas!!!!
Great choice of song for the video. Merry Christmas Nester!
thank you for organizing this amazing place!
I’d love to know who does the music for the video montage. I loved that. :)
I love your site. I just bought my first home and get so inspired when I see your home! Thanks for the encouragement!

I’m excited to be participating for the first time. Thank you for hosting this Christmas tour of homes. I can’t wait to see all of the great decorations.
Thanks for hosting the party! I just loved your video, if it wasn’t so late I would be creating my own visual tour… Your home looks so warm and cozy. I hope your family appreciates all that you do! Also, your new site looks great, how nice to have a place of your own.
Best wishes,
Tammy
wow i am so excited! i have been waiting to show my tree until today and it has been killing me. i love all the fabulous ideas you give thank you!!!!
Thanks so much for doing the Christmas Tour of Homes. It is a highlight of my year! I love your blog. I get so many ideas here.
Cute video, and even cuter home! Thanks for the chance to join in… and win. Season’s Greetings to you and yours!
You are so adorable and I just love your house! I’d also love to win one of those bags…;)
As expected, your decor is absolutely beautiful and inspiring! My decor pales in comparison of course, but I am joining in on the home tour fun this year (I’m #417 – yipee!!!) Thanks for being my favorite blog! Merry Christmas!
Your home is lovely with or without the beautiful Christmas decorations. Its so hard to make a rental your own with out doing what you really want to. Pulling out or down things!! Painting everything …… you know what I mean.
But you have done it, with out doing any of that :-) Your home is lovely, wonderful ;-)
Merry Christmas to you and yours xxx
Oh yes the bags are sweet! ……….and I loved the last photo!
Merry Christmas!!! Thanks so much for hosting. :)
LOVE your home — ohhhhh I wish it were mine!!! (But I won’t actually full on envy -k? Well, I will TRY to not envy. Oops. Failed.) ;)
I love both bags – can’t even choose. LOL
I’m new here, but I’m lovin’ it! What an awesome place you have and what a fantastic job you’re doing hosting the Tour of Homes!
Beautifully done, Nester! Your home is gorgeous as is your new blog home. Thanks for hosting an event worth the wait!
May everyone’s Christmas be funky and bright! :)

Thanks for hosting such a fabulous party!
Great slideshow – enjoyed the peek into your lovely home!
Thanks for the AWESOME tour of your BEAUTIFUL home!
Hi Nester – For some reason my first link won’t work so would you please delete it? It’s number 454. I added again at 457 and that one works! Sorry for the trouble! I’m SO excited to be a part of this and see what everyone has done!
Ok, I just went back to look and don’t see my link at all! So I tried to add it again, but it wouldn’t let me saying it had already been added. Sorry to be a problem. Here’s the permalink if that’s helpful. http://abbieknaub.wordpress.com/2009/12/14/christmas-house-tour/
If not, I’ll try again later! This part isn’t fun, but seeing everybody’s house is!
I still can’t add my link as it says it’s already been added, but its NOT on the list anywhere – thanks for your help, when you get a minute, I’m sure you’re *not* doing anything today! :)
I can’t wait to spend the day browsing homes and meeting new people. Thanks for hosting.
Kathleen
i loved your video! very clever… but i already knew that! i can’t wait to poke around… but i didn’t want to forget to say hi. and you made my day with those empty frames! i have a couple on my bedroom wall- now i’m gonna steal a tree from the village so it can bea all christmas cheer-like!
You have a beautiful home. Love how you share the message of Christmas so clearly in the way you decorate. Your home not only gives testimony to the spirit of Christmas, but the Spirit of Christ. Have a blessed Christmas.
Joy
Wow!! I’ve only looked at 5 houses (out of the bazillion that are now posted … lol), and I’m already re-filled with the Christmas spirit !! Nester, thanks so much for hosting such a fun party. I’m off to continue my eye candy tour!! Hugs, Becca
I love the tours, especially yours! Your home looks like Christmas perfection to me. It is warm, and welcoming. I had a good giggle at the last photo of the pieces of tree branches on the floor. And so many wonderful decorating ideas that I would have never occurred to me! Merry Christmas!
I love the tour of homes! My favorite event all year!
LOVE your home this year:) I’m so excited to link up too…so much fun to see everything! Thanks for hosting!!
I saw one of your cute boys pop his head up during your video! Love the tour of your home, wish I was there to see it in person!
So glad I found your blog….and just in time for the tour!! I’m hoping to join in later today.
Thanks
OPPS – just left prior message, but I think I put a wrong email – sorry – wouldn’t want to miss out on the givaway!
I am so excited about the tour so I am off to visit as many people as I can over breakfast! And I am excited about garnishing my gifts! Merry Christmas and thanks for hosting.
Loved your house, loved the music. Delightful! I love those soft non-christmasy colors. They look so fresh and current. :)

Thank you so much for hosting this! I had taken some pics of our tree and decorating for dh as he is deployed and wanted to make him feel part of it. :D
Everything looks fabulous as expected. You have such talent! Thanks for all you, Merry Christmas!
Nester, my faves – seeing your boys, the deer by the sphere :), that little bottlebrush tree perched on the frame & the last photo of the stuff on the floor! So fun! Thanks for the tour of your home and thank you also for hosting for the rest of us! Merry Christmas! Kelly
Thanks for sharing. I love looking at how others decorate.
pscole3467 at gmail dot com
My son liked the tree with the colored ribbons and wanted one too!
What a beautiful home you have! I don’t have blog, but I will enjoy looking at everyone’s decorated homes this year!
Thank you and Merry Christmas :)
Great video, Nester! Your house is so pretty. I love the teeny-tiny tree nestled in your frame..
Merry Christmas!
H.
I enjoyed the slide show every bit as much as I would have a video (maybe even more!) I enjoyed how the light blue color stays as a consistent theme throughout your living spaces – that’s a pretty “cool” color, seeing as you live where it’s cold.
It was fun to see you “live” after reading your blog for so long! Thanks for hosting the giveaway and the tour! Merry Christmas!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing your home with us. Can you please tell me how you made the ribbon garland that is hanging on your staircase. I love, love, love it!
Your house is so beautiful! I loved all your photos, especially the ones with the kids in them!
Thanks for hosting this year, you did a great job!

Merry Christmas!
I love all the homes so far! Everyone has great ideas and decorations!
Beautiful! So fun to see a video of you and hear your voice!! I love the part with one of your boys peeking around the corner — LOVE it!
Thanks for hosting the tour this year. I’m a new follower and look forward to reading more of your blog.
My pick would be the Breathe Deeply tote bag.
Have a blessed Christmas!

These are great! What fun!
OH, what fun! I don’t think I can get to everyone’s site…but I’m gonna try! :o)
Beautiful home you have! I am looking forward to drinking a hot chocolate and looking at the home tours.
Love it! That is a lot of houses to tour!
Oh so fun!!! Love the tour of houses
Great video – great song!
I’ll be back to look at all the pretty houses links later — this comment is to enter for one of the cute totes!
LOVE this. . .thanks so much for hosting. Nothing like a Christmas tour of homes to put you in the holiday spirit.
Thank you so much for hosting this! Your home is beautiful and looks like something you’d see in a magazine. Hopefully one day I can have mine looking that good. Can’t wait to check out everyone elses homes as well. There sure are a LOT of them up already!
I love your video! You are adorable, Miss Nester! ;)
Beautiful, beautiful decorations. And what a wonderful giveaway.
I’m having technical difficulties with my post (i.e. my camera’s battery needs to be recharged before I can upload photos), but will be participating in the tour of homes.
Love it all! Would love to win one of the bags.
What a fun party! You’re doing a fantastic job….so sorry about your comments! I may need to retract my email to Darcy ;D
This is so much fun! Thank you for hosting the tour of homes. I linked mine, even though it’s pathetic. I think it may take me a week to visit everybody’s posts, but I can’t wait.
Your home is just BEAUTIFUL!
-FringeGirl
I love your decorating style! Your home looks beautiful in its Christmas best. :)
Thanks for the fun party! I’m going to write my post today.
I absolutely love it all! Merry Christmas!!!!
Oh, Nester, you are so cute. Your boys are so cute. {I saw the little one peeping at the camera in the beginning of the video : ) } Your house is so cute. You have such a way with decorating. You are so artistic. I have copied so many of your ideas! I hope you all have the merriest Christmas ever! Have fun! Happy New Year!

This is my first “link-up” and I’m so excited; thanks for hosting the tour! So many wonderful and creative ideas!
fun!
My favorite picture was your boy drinking his hot cocoa and smiling. So precious!
Gorgeous! Mine are up!
My link has been deleted??? I’m so sorry if i did it wrong. :(
Your home looks lovely and I am so excited to tour the others. This is so much fun and such a great idea.

I had a great time putting together my blog post for the Christmas Homes Tour. Thanks so much for hosting this year. (And I love those bags!) Merry Christmas!
Hey nester!
Loved your video. My toddler kept trying to say “hi” to you while we watched your video because apparently he thought we were live with you on skype!
p.s. do you know the name of the jingle bell song or who sings it? i have never heard that song before and loved it!
A
Girl, you are cuter than I even imagined. Love your tour, the music was perfect. I love the colors you used, I get stuck in the red, green, and gold mindset too much I think. Love that you are an M Smith too! :) Merry Christmas!!
I tried to sign up with vimeo but whwn I clicked on the “add email” it wouldn’t let me. Maybe too many people are doing the same thing and its jammed. I have no idea! I will try again later. Your home is lovely!!
I loved your video!! And I actually preferred the pictures with the pretty music. I could really see the great details … awesome! What a beautifully decorated home!
what an adorable family and home you have, I love how comfy cozy your home feels. Merry Christmas.
Beautiful home!
I pretty much want to make EVERYTHING I saw in the video, lol. Your house is gorgeous!!!
Thank you! LOVE IT!!! If I wasn’t due today I’d have started a blog just to participate ;o) As it is I’ll have plenty of fun and lovely homes to look at as I sit with my newborn!
I love, love, love all the decorations! You definitely have a gift. Thanks for sharing :)
Brandi
Your decorations are beautiful!
Your house looks gorgeous Nester…you look adorable in your video. The bag giveaway is so nice too…!
Thank you for your gracious gift of sharing your home with us. I look forward to reading your blog whenever I can. I will check out Daysprings website too. The bags are gorgeous.
Wow! What a beautifully decorated home! Thanks so much for the ideas!!
So fun. I can’t wait to sit down with some hot chocolate and check out all the homes.
Oh I can’t wait to take a look at all the blogs and get some much needed inspiration. I posted my house but I’m sure it doesn’t compare to others that I am about to drool over. Have a great holiday and thanks for hosting!
you have such a lovely home. Thanks for welcoming me in :)
And thank you for the awesome giveaway.
Holy moly! So many lovely homes to check out! So fun!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home-and I can’t wait to peek at all the others! I especially appreciate your mess at the end, so normal this time of year!
Yay! You still come up on my sidebar in blogger when you have a new post! So glad about that.
I loved your video and pictures. I couldn’t find anything that wasn’t perfect but I haven’t had my coffee yet so maybe I’m in a haze. Looks gorgeous to me. I’m going to put my pictures up now too. :)
Merry Christmas!!!!
Wow! We get up early to join the Nester’s parties, don’t we? :) I’ll be joining up in a little while. What fun!
What a beautiful home you have! Please enter me in your give away!
I enjoyed my visit – thanks for making me feel at home.
Wow! It looks amazing! Can’t wait to come back and look through the links! :) I’d love to win a bag, too!! Great job, Nester!! :)
I would love to win one of those bags! I was all excited to have my house ready to go and be one of the first to post. But, life happens. We weren’t able to get our decor out until just a couple of days ago. And trying to decide where things go in a new-to-you house can be very difficult! Last night, trying to finish up in time, I started feeling very blech. Sometimes, you just have to let go of your expectation and embrace reality. I’ll still post, probably later today. Thanks for doing this and keeping the tradition going!
I appreciate any quick and easy idea around this busy time of year. Thank you for hosting such a fun event! HO, HO, HO!
Enjoy, Cathy
Thanks for hosting the tour! It’s eye candy time in blogland! Merry Christmas!

~Misti
As always, your home and decorations are beautiful. :)

You are such a gracious, EAGER little host! ;)
You decorattions are absolutely divine! Have a merry Christmas!!

What a beautiful Christmas tour…thank you…I had a blast!! Merry Christmas!
Blessings,
Linda
LOVE your blog! SOOOOOO Creative!!!!!!
I’ve been looking forward to today! Last year when I stumbled on the tour of homes, it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable days of clicking on the net I’ve ever had. I got plenty of good ideas and it was so nice to see others as Christmas crazy as I am. Thanks for hosting!
Wow!!! I can’t believe how huge this home tour is. I feel like I’m way behind. Better late than never. I loved the tour of your home. My favorites are your apothecary jars and the blue frames on your stairs. I would love to know what color that is.
Ruth
Your home looks like something out of a magazine! I didn’t spot one imperfection :)
Girl, your home is fabulous! I’d seriously live underneath of your wonderful toile sofa just to be a part of it. :o) (Dust bunnies are fine – I ain’t picky)
I love everything – AND I’m totally doing a door on the wall with a chalkboard. I have grand plans for that…this weekend. Yes, the last weekend before Christmas. I’m like that. Procrastinatorish-esque.
I really enjoyed your home tour, Miss Nester, and thanks for sharing! (My 3-year-old also loved it – she liked your trees the best – and my almost-1-year-old was bopping her head along to the music).
Have a blessed and bright Christmas, Nester Family!
~ Kelly, Kelly at Home
SO cute! I love your ribbon hand rail!!!!!!
Your home is just LOVELY! I love the blue cabinet in your family room – my favorite color, and all of your holiday decorations are beautiful. Thanks for hosting this crazy HUGE party! Merry Christmas!

I love looking through everyones Christmas Tour of Homes. So many beautiful ideas to get. Love the tote bags to.
Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.
I love the untraditional way you use Christmas decorations, particularly putting nontraditional items on your trees. I also love the idea of a virtual tour of homes. Great job!
I love all the blue things and the fresh garland! What color blue is that?
What a warm and inviting home you have. I really love that your children can still exist in your house with your decorations. Nester is my first stop each day.
Thanks.
thanks for hosting the tour!! Your house looks great! I love all the blues!
Oh I just LOVE the pictures!!! Thanks for hosting this…it is my favorite thing each year!!!
Thank you for sharing your home with us. I used a lot of tips this past year and with this holiday that I got from the Nesting Place.
Your home looks fabulous…LOVE it!!
Fun tour! Thanks for hosting us!!
Thanks for billing willing to take this over. I love to see everyone’s wonderful decorations but your house is still one of my favorite’s! :)
Thanks Nester for the Tour of Homes. I won’t be able to view them all but will try to hit as many as I can before Christmas AND thanks for the opportunity for a free bag! Freebies are always good. Merry Christmas
Such fun to check out all the decorations! So many great ideas!
Thanks for hosting the tour this year! I loved your video…now I need to spend a few hours checking out all of the homes!!
A follow up post could be, what new ideas did you all steal from the tour of homes? :) I have a LIST LOL!
Fabulous! Love, love, love, your trees….can’t wait to check out all the other homes when the babies are napping! :) Merry Christmas!
Thanks for sharing! Everything looked beautiful!
I’ve had so much fun taking the tour! Thank you!
oh my…i want to see them all!
I just want to come and sit on your red toile couch and drink hot chocolate and look at your tree. Your house is decorated so beautifully! I love it all! Even the boys acting crazy!
Oh, and I’d lurve to win one of the bags!
Congrats on the move. (Hope your comments come along – think of them as missing baggage that might arrive after the trip.) I’d love one of those bags!
Wow~ what a turnout! I am gonna put the kiddos to bed early and sit down with a cup of tea and my laptop to enjoy some of the Christmas goodness. Thank you so much for getting everyone together.
XO*Tricia

Oh, my husband is going to hate you when I am glued to the computer looking at all these homes. so neat to see how God created each of us differently and how it shows in what we choose to decorate with.
Love the tour of homes!! Thanks for hosting! Your home looks amazing!! Imperfections increase the beauty!
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for hosting such a fun event!!
m ^..^
Your house looks wonderful. Thanks for hosting – so fun to look at everyone’s decor.

Thanks for hosting this great party! So fun to see how everyone spruces up their homes during the holidays.
Wow! 700 some tours and counting! I know I won’t get to look at them all, but I’m trying to check out as many as I can. Thanks for hosting the par-tay!
Wow…now this IS a PARTY! :-) Love all your beautiful Christmas decor, especially the garland in your breakfast area. I’m all into the garland this year!
The best part, though, was seeing the happy, smiling faces of your family…the best “decoration” of all! :-)
Susan
Merry Christmas, Nester!
Your home is gorgeous! I love all of the Christmas things you either made or hung. Thanks for the giveaway.
Lovely! Beautiful photos and they all have such a soothing, calming effect!
Loved the video. Your house is beautiful as always. Thanks.

You’re home is beautifully decorated for the holidays. Thank you so much for hosting this tour!
Wow. Pretty sure I have no chance of winning. Argh.
Your house is superb–I especially love the cleanliness. I’m pretty sure the last shot of your “mess” was staged. ;) My decorations are still in their red and green Rubbermaids stacked in front of the piano, which really do not show off my fabulous striped wall, methinks.
This really got me in the spirit! I am baking cookies for the neighbors tonight!
Oh, Nester! Your home is lovely! Thanks so much for hosting the Tour Of Homes. I have been looking forward to peeking into everyone’s homes this year!
LOVE the video! Everything is luscious! Especially all the blue/turquoise! I’m hoping to join in late–maybe even tonight! Woohoo!!

Those bags are SO cute. Count me in for the giveaway! Loved the pictures of your beautiful home. My camera is down for the count right now, but I hope to add my link soon. (I’ve only participated in a very few blog parties before so I hope I do it right!)
I loved your decorated house. I also love bags, so I hope I win one :)
I love your video. I love the bags, too. Who doesn’t need a little Jesus reminder at all times of the day???
Your home tour is wonderful!
I love too that you sponsored this tour!
God Bless and Merry Christmas
Wow, such inspiration! I love it! Happy Holidays everyone!!!

This is such a fun thing to do! Thanks for taking it over!
Beautiful! You know what I love about your home? It looks like HOME. (Plus, I love that you use my favorite shade of blue w/ red. We have red accents in our very open floor plan and I’m thinking I’m going to get brave and throw in some of my blue.)

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.

Rachelle

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!!

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!
I love seeing what everyone has done!
beautiful decorations! I would love to win one of the bags – thanks for the giveaway!!
Your pictures of your home are beautiful! Thanks so much for hosting the tour!
Your home is so beautiful!!! I have always been a renter until very recently and white wall were always such a challenge! Recently we just bought our first home, and now I am scared of paint!! HA HA! Thanks for showing us your home! Happy Holidays!
I LOVE Dayspring…….awesome products! Enjoying the Tour……a few gorgeous homes at a time!! lol
This is the best Christmas tour EV-AH!!!!!!
Glad to be a part of it.

Oh dear, I forgot to leave a comment for the giveaway. Maybe I’m not too late. I am in shock that there are over 1,000 McLinky’s…is that a record?
Great Tour! Would love to win a bag! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for hosting, Nester! I think it’s a huge success — and everything is beautiful!
Thanks for hosting-I love looking at everyone’s decorations.

Thanks for hosting the Christmas Tour of Homes this year.
I’m sorry – when I posted the first time I did not include my permalink. #1035 can be removed. Thanks!
Love the photos of your home! Simple elegance. You inspire me
Please enter me in the bag give away. Would love one!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones
Beautifully decorated home! Thank you for sharing with all of us :-) I love the Jingle Bells song you have playing along with the pictures and have been searching all over iTunes for it with no luck. Who sings that song? Have a wonderfully sweet Merry Christmas!
Your home is beautiful!
I would love to be entered for bag choice #2.
Thank you,
Raychel

Love you!

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

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!
