| Cedar chest in window bay |
The day after Thanksgiving I start to decorate the house for Christmas. It usually takes all weekend long. This year a couple of rooms took a little longer because we had rearranged them and I had to figure out what to put where.

| This is where the tree usually went |
The living room was the biggest difference. We removed one bookcase and changed around the other pieces. We did this to better accommodate our large family when they come over. We opened up the room to provide easier access for those relatives that use walkers.

| I like the poinsettias under the glass, keeps the top clear for food and drinks |
The cedar chest that was behind the couch is now in the window bay. We moved the two small lamps from the dining room and placed them there. Normally a large plant is in this sunny window but now the nativity scene resides there. This also means we can't put the tree in the window like usual. We will move a chair and place it in a corner.

| Angels in a new spot |
The couch now faces the large window bay and is flanked by matching chairs. The glass fronted bookcase now stands where the tall bookcase was. Since the tall bookcase is no longer in the living room, the items that were normally displayed there at Christmas were either put in different places or I got rid of them.

| Temporary bookcase in the foyer |
That tall bookcase in now temporarily in the foyer until we can decide what to do with it. I used it to display my teddy bear nativity set and some other teddy bears.

| Family room fireplace |
The only real change in the family room is the addition of two new stocking holders. Our daughter and son-in-law had a girl in February and our son and daughter-in-law are expecting in April. So fun to see all those extra stockings on the fireplace mantel.
