I am trying to simplify this year. Between decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping ... (I'm feeling sleepy), it's hard to carve out quality relaxation time. So the outside of my house has to be quick and simple - check it out.
Kidding!!! My sister drove me past this house last week and I had to take a picture (while I muttered a few expletives under my breath)! Wonder what their electric bill is?!
Since I could never (and would never!) replicate the "too much" house above, I just stick to something quick and easy. I hang a wreath, lean my old sled againt the wall, pop a couple of green trees in my planters, light a few snowy mason jar candles and call it a day! Then I can get onto more meaningful things - like a great cocktail and hanging with family and friends!

This twiggy crystal covered wreath is like the one over my mantel but with a twist.
Fresh garland wraps around the columns.
The finial looks like a giant snowball! Snowy mason jar candles line the steps and sit in cast iron urns - they look beautiful at night.
The girls old ice skates with a few springs of greenery tucked inside.
The Sinatra of Santas - check out this blue-eyed babe! Found this metal guy at a flea market years ago.
My old sled as a kid - long before safety precautions!
A few snowflakes sparkle in the cute little trees.
An old metal basket filled with pine cones.
So be honest - did you like the "too much" house better than mine?!
