My Swedish Christmas Dining Room

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!

*

God Jul!

(Merry Christmas)

*

The Christmas countdown continues...only 9 days until Christmas!

*

I am busier than ever...with Christmas preparations and planning for our

 trip to Texas next week!  I'm soooo excited to be able to spend the holidays with

 my three daughters and their families...as well as my folks! 

*

Today I thought I would show you around my Christmas dining room.

*

My Swedish Christmas Dining Room...

*

This Chirstmas, Honey and I are celebrating our family's Swedish ancestry!

  With a traditional color theme of red, green, and white....mostly red and white...a

 simple Swedish Christmas is set in our dining room.  I would love to give you a tour.

 This is a photo laden posts so I promise to keep my commentary to a minimum.

  Everything is self-explanatory anyway...hehe!

*

  I hope you enjoy the tour, my dear friends!

 Christmas hutch.  A couple of white pitchers from my pitcher collection have also

 joined in with the mix.  A white birdcage filled with red and green ornaments

 and a sweet winter bird is flanked by to tall red Christmas trees.

The gifts have not been wrapped yet...but in the meantime...a little

 Snowman family is keeping the tree company!

*

*

I found this darling Snowman family at a yard sale a few years ago.

  Aren't they just adorable?  They are good sized snowmen and women (hehe!).

  Papa Snowman stands a stately 14 inches tall.  They have a place in the

 back where you can put a candle or lights....so they will twinkle!

A large metal container filled with California pine cones!

*

I believe that these large pine cones come from the "sugar pine" tree.

  My dearest friend Gloria from Happy To Be blog and her husband Len...sent

 me these beautiful giant pine cones for Christmas!  Ohh my...they are well over 12

 inches long.  Totally awesome!  Thank you, Sis and Len...I love them!!!

*

*

Did you notice that Baby Snowman has little heart shaped cut-outs?

*

Well dear friends...I hope you enjoyed a little Swedish Christmas in my

 dining room!  I'm sooo glad that you stopped by for a visit!
