Welcome to the 2012 Christmas Tour of Homes
hosted by The Nester
We do love Christmas here and decorating the house is a huge deal!
Since the military moves us around every couple years, decorating the home for Christmas can sometimes be a challenge. Here in Alaska we have rented a cute place in the Valley which we have nicknamed "The Cabin" because it was once a cabin on a hill...all alone ;-) The downsize has been a bit of a struggle, smaller means less walls space for all the decor.

| not enough space here for the whole village, so we just have downtown ;-) |
 |
| we still found room for Calvin and Luther to celebrate Christmas with their hats on |

God decorated the yard, the trees, and the Chugach Mountain Range for us!
And yes, that is the view from our back deck ;-)
Merry Christmas to all!
You have a gorgeous view of the mountains! My daughter has a village she puts out every year too!
ReplyDeleteI too love the mountain view. I feel very blessed to see it every day. Does she have the mountain addition? I love that feature!! Thank you for stopping by :-)
DeleteThat is a breathtaking view. I cant think of a more perfect state for spending Christmas. You have a really great Christmas village. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteWe were very excited to finally be stationed in a state with snow ;-) Thank you for the stop back!
DeleteGorgeous photos :) !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteSmaller but lovely... your view is stunning. Your home looks so cheery and happy. ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus surrounded in love.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas!

I was too embarrassed to get a shot of our Advent Wreath because of the massive clutter around it. I should get that done quickly because Christ is THE reason we celebrate this holiday.
DeleteSmaller is actually better. I am working on a series beginning in January on the downsize and encouraging folks to downsize in life. It is scary at first, but really beneficial.
Oh, I love your Advent Calender and I was going to point it out in my FF this week. I wish I had found it earlier!!! I would have had one myself :-)
I love how you put part of the town on the window-sill and that Calvin and Luther have Santa hats. You may not have much space but you get a 10 for creativity. And I love the view with snow.
