Ok--- here's the Christmas pictures i've promised so many of you- there will be another post on things as well.. We'll start with the front porch!!! We're the first house on the street, so we need to represent it well ;) I think, GO BIG OR GO HOME! 
If someone stole these, i'd laugh.. they'd get lots of boxes of ROCKS! - thanks to the construction workers and their LARGE pile of rocks next to our house, they helped make this porch possible, HA!
My husband LOVES this white bench ( KIDDING! he hates it) so he was happy when it was put on the side of our entrance and covered. HE thinks its junk- he cant appreciate Shabby Chic, i guess.
Last year we came up with the candy cane idea- we went to NewSpring church, one of our FAVE to visit in SC and in the childrens area, there was a white tree with candy canes and that's how our tree this year came about!
One of my fave blogs, 320 Sycamore had the idea to put her childrens Christmas books under the tree and wrap each one and each night a child can unwrap it and read it every night leading up to christmas . Great idea, however, i didnt wrap them, in all honesty due to NO TIME-
Candy canes- Target
Sled- clearance @ marshalls last year

Oh my goodness do you not LOVE this cake plate?! only 15 @ Target and i'm SO glad i snatched it.. it was sold out everywhere and online. - y ou can use it for so many holidays!
My willow branch nativity i wanted to make a statement since Christ's birth IS the reason for Christmas!I put it on my Kitchen countertop so everyone can see it when they walk in.. See the red nail ornament in the back behind Joseph? That's the nail to remind us of Jesus dying on the cross for us. Another one i love that i've saved for years and never used because i could never find the right place. And the Noel- the first Noel!!! Tinsel tree-- in love, Another Corky's daughter!
And the star in this pic.. i love how it all turned out. So classy-
There is MUCH more to be seen, so i will be doing another post on our house-
