Holiday decor planning

Last December at the Polohouse

Before we know it

turkey day 

will be here and gone 

and the red and green boxes 

will appear from our attic 

and/or basement storage areas.

It will be time to

make the annual preparations

 to celebrate the Christmas season.

If you're like me you try to 

"reinvent the wheel"

every year 

finding new ways

to mix it up and incorporate

a new look here and there.

Are you like me?

 Christmas at the Polohouse

Since the front door

is the first thing 

 our family and friends see 

when they arrive --

is always an important part

of the yuletide decor.

Here are some images to inspire:

Here's a shot of the greens on our front door 

during the holidays.

 

There is also is another 

focal point here to consider ... 

the fireplace mantel.

Here are some visual inspirations 

that I have been

studying with special care:

Pretty, isn't it?

Gifting is such a big part

of the holidays and 

presentation is a fun way to

show the recipients that you care.

 I love to wrap packages!

 Take a peek

at these gorgeous bundles.

Do you pick wrapping papers that

coordinate with your tree's 

color scheme?

Little holiday package at the Polohouse.

Adding little vignettes to prominent

spots in the yard is also a fun way

to show your holiday cheer.

And to finish this off

here are some sweet shots

of little lovelies

that I collected through the year

to share with all of you.
