Christmas 2020
The master bedroom is the home of two nativity scenes and the “vintage corner.” It’s also where I tend to put a lot of miscellaneous decorations.
We have a lot of furniture crammed into one bedroom – including a china cabinet I use for a bookshelf and storage, two desks, and a table that has to be moved from our dining area for the season. The two desks – and a table in between – each have a hodgepodge of decorations.
Beads and boxes and lights 
The old church is from Trever’s childhood
I bought a tree last year for the vintage corner – the ornaments on the tree are a combination those I have picked up at thrift stores or flea markets and some that were things of my mother in laws. The cards on the tables were a find in a box of items Trever had purchased on ebay at one time.
Santa and Mrs. Claus also came from my late mil, the ladder is on loan from my daughter. 
The fiber optic snowman isn’t exactly vintage but he works here. 
“The Vintage Corner”
When I was teaching myself to crochet a couple of years ago, I made several of these stars in alternate green, red, and white color schemes. Last year, I had the idea to string them to make garlands. They adorn both windows in the bedroom.
My jewelry armoire is the home for a glass snowman I have had for many years – I think Trever bought it for me way back when – as well as some smaller similar styled snowmen I picked up a few years ago. A sprinkle of artificial snow makes dusting a non issue for the immediate future!
My china cabinet holds not one but two nativity scenes. The one in the center was in my late mother in laws things but i don’t recall her ever displaying it. The smaller nativity is a subject of debate. I recall that my parents brought this back for me from Mexico but my mom swears she doesn’t recall that – I’m sure of it! It also is the home of Trever’s and my Christmas stockings.

There are also many boxes of wrapping supplies but I do try to at least keep them organized!
Both of our bathrooms have small trees…the girls bathroom has a small porcelin nativity scene under a tree decorated in silver and ours has a small tree with a couple of snowmen, as well as a small church that at one time must have been a fiber optic decoration.
Stay tuned for more decorating posts!
