It all looks great! I am especially drawn to the nativity on the piano. Nativity sets are really speaking to me this year. I like the red covers on the dining chairs too. I'm kicking myself for not buying a pair of them at the GW store yesterday.
Merry Christmas!

It all so beautiful!!! I too love nativitys...

That wreath is the bomb though!!! It's on my list for next year!!

Alex, Your dining room is just gorgeous. You've put a lot of work in decorating and it shows.

Alex, did you sew the chair coverings? Wish I had lots of them for my dining table. I'd change with every season and every holiday.

That's so pretty and cozy! Thanks for sharing.

Your dining room is perfect for Christmas with the color on the walls and that pretty rug. Lots of pretty things to see, you did a really nice job on it. Luvs

Beautiful. Looks like it could be in a magazine.

Oh I agree w/everyone...it looks just gorgeous. The colors in your dining room,with all your decorations, are just stunning. I don't know how long it all takes you, but I'm sure it's worth every moment. With all your wonderful decorating talent, your family must be in 'Christmas Heaven' with such beautiful surroundings.

Your house is beautiful, but I REALLY love your dining room. How lovely!!! - Gail

WOW....that is really beautiful. All lit up it looks almost magical.

hugs, Karen

How entirely beautiful! I absolutely love that house sitting on your buffet table. I have those Christmas tree candles but never lit them. How do the trees look after they've been lit for a while? Are they slow burning.

You are one talented decorator!

Wow! I am quite impressed! I feel like I walked into Victorian Cape May, so warm and inviting. How long does it take you to decorate?

I'm so glad you all enjoy it!

The nativity, was a bit of a splurge several years ago....but I think it was well worth it. The chair covers were my Christmas gift from my MIL 4 years ago, when we were on our local Christmas tour, and I think they came from Wally World (so OA, no I did not sew them....I just don't have the time anymore, maybe again one day!)

The advent house is a reproduction from Christmas Vacation, and it was my Christmas present from my husband 2 years ago.

Bright, have to blush over the wreath. I got it at Sam's a few years ago for $7.99.... I didn't have a particular plan for it, just couldn't pass it up for that price. Last year was the first year I used it after I got the advent house and thought it worked well with the house and trees.

Pdg, This is the first time that I have burned those candles...not real impressed. One is a white glitter and the other a silver. The white one turned black on the top, so I'll see if I can find something else.

Clarejoe, believe it or not, it only takes an evening to finish the dining room. The hardest part is decorating the tree which takes about 2-3 hours depending on if I have to replace lights.

Everyone else, thank you again so much! We really do enjoy it and it is magical! I'm so glad you all are enjoying it as much as we do....makes it all so worthwhile!

There is nothing as beautiful as Christmas lights in a home... they make a so warm atmosphere!

BTW, I love your advent house ;-)))

Very, very pretty! All the red is really elegant! Looks like a fancy gift shop! Really like the chair covers too.

bourbonlady - I think you need more lights! :)

Seriously, the room is beautiful! Where did you find the tall skinny tree? Is it artificial?

Newhome, yeah, the electric company also thinks we need more lights. :)

I got that tree about 9 years ago at Garden Ridge for under $100. It's a 9' slim, unlit with the 3 sections and hinged branches. It's been a very good tree, but I just haven't seen many like it since unless you want to spend quite a bit....what happened to the good buys on trees?

Your dining room is stunning! I also love your chair covers, what a nice gift. The piano makes an ideal place to show off your Christmas cards, what a neat idea!
