When I was a girl, there was nothing I like half so much at this time of year as seeing how other families decorated for the Holidays. \u00a0My mother and I would go on multiple holiday home tours just for the fun of the lights, the decor, and the obligatory mug of hot chocolate. <\/p>\n

Its funny, but while I loved taking those tours, I never understood why anyone would want their house to be a stop on one. \u00a0Then I grew up, and now I get it. \u00a0It\u2019s a lot of work to \u201cdress your house fair as you are able, trim the hearth and set the table.\u201d It\u2019s a bit of a shame to go to all that work and not get to show it off a bit.<\/p>\n

Last night, as I was nursing a post-dental work sore mouth, I had a Eureka! moment\u2026.a virtual Holiday Home Tour. \u00a0I\u2019ll show you mine and you show me yours. ( Trees and decorations people! Get your minds out of the gutter. \u00a0Honestly. \u00a0It\u2019s Christmas.) Mine will never be in a magazine, but it\u2019s pretty and I like it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll start us off. Here\u2019s mine!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the linky to add yours. If you don\u2019t have a blog, please email me your pics and I\u2019ll add them to this post. \u00a0The obligatory hot chocolate? You\u2019ll have to make your own.<\/p>\n

Thanks for playing along, and Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
