Happy December sweet friends! I’m kicking off the holidays with some of my favorite blogging buddies- we’re doing a Welcome Home Christmas Tour, showcasing the way we decorate to say Welcome Home during the holiday season. This week we’ll have new blogs joining in every day, if you follow along, you’ll see front porches, front doors and front entry ways-all with a Welcome Home theme…
I’m wondering…how do you say Welcome Home at Christmas? Do you hang a beautifully simple evergreen wreath on the front door? Do you blanket your bushes with twinkle lights to welcome family and friends on cold December nights? Do you have a blow up snow globe in the front yard!?
Whatever you do, it’s the attitude behind the expression that counts don’t you think?
Decorations don’t have to be fussy to be warm and welcoming. You might be too busy to do much decorating…
That’s ok…there were years when I had four little ones underfoot and I didn’t have the energy to do much more than hang a wreath on the front door…
But when your heart is open and loving to family and friends, whatever you hang on your front door is welcome enough…
Because they know you and all that love are waiting behind the door…
These days, all my tiny babies are grown up, so there’s more time to add a little of this and a little of that to my entry…
But next year, if I’m tired and I decide to hang a solitary evergreen wreath on the door…I promise you that my door will be just as welcoming…

December 1, 2014 at 9:15 amYour home is so beautiful Robin! I have always loved a wreath on every window and your garland above your front door is lovely!
I know exactly what you mean about having kids underfoot and how hard it was to even get a wreath on the door. Mine are bigger now and sometimes it still feels that way!
Have a great week and thanks so much for the tour…and for including me! See you Friday!
