Oooh, this is getting me all holiday spirt-y. I've only decorated our mantel (& our tree is up but it's more sentimental than chic since we have a hodgepodge of ornaments & only did the upper 2/3 of the tree since we have a 1 y/o toddling around).

I am so jealous of everyone in this post. Some more than others (ahem, that foyer and freckles' mantel especially) but definitely jealous. I can't wait to get into our new place!
I don't have any pictures to contribute, but I'm loving looking at everyone else's. Too many to name names, but there are some great decorations and mantles!
Here's our entry...nothing spectacular. I wish I had garland around the door. I did have DH get up in the nook at top and put candles in the window. LOVE those.
By our dining table
Our porch. Next year I'd like to have a tree on the far right.
Fireplace mantel and tree:
Advent calendar:
Card holder on pantry doors
I put red wrapping paper at the back of the cabinets for some fun
I just hung up the last ornament last night and FINALLY cleaned up and put away all the boxes that housed the Christmas Decor. This is our first Christmas in the new house, and last Christmas we were in a temporary rental, so I have fully enjoyed decorating this year.
Here's the mantle
Dining Room and table-scape
The tree and foyer. Our first artificial one, but I LOVE it so much. Holds massive, heavy ornaments and no pine needles to sweep up in the morning. H wanted to decorate the stairs too, but I love the tree so much I'm letting it take center stage.

Beautiful!!! Did you use Command Strips for the card holder?
Where did you find those wall to wall curtain rods?
They are rigged. Two Allen and Roth Rods from Lowe's. One super long, one for a single window. They don't screw together but we glued together, sealed with clear packing tape and the seam is supported by one of the rod holders. It works perfectly.
Pickle! Shut up you really went all out! I love that you did red paper behind your cabinets and I love the card holders on the pantry doors.....I'm totally doing that this year too!
I posted a couple after my first day of decorating, but I have a couple of better ones now.
All the lights up outside:
Mantel:
No tree I always leave for the two weeks around Christmas, and Jewish DH is here alone and doesn't really appreciate a tree. I get motivated enough once every three years or so, but it's hard.
