Soft & Romantic Christmas Nights Tour
I’m so excited to share this post with you as it is one of my favorites of the whole year. I’m joining some blogging friends for a very unique tour – the Christmas Nights Tour! Thank you to my friends Kristen of Ella Claire and Courtney of French Country Cottage for putting this tour together this year!
I love seeing all the houses at night – there is truly something magical about the twinkle lights of a Christmas tree. For me, nighttime is one of my favorite things about this season. I love to sit by the fire and gaze at the tree all lit up.
And so many of our favorite holiday activities also take place at night. From holiday parties, to drinking hot cocoa by the fire, to carolers singing door to door, to driving around to look at Christmas lights (my personal favorite!), nighttime seems to hold a special place in our holiday season.
So welcome to my Christmas Nights Tour! I’ve lit the fire and all the candles, and would love for you to stop in….
Live wreaths and garland greet guests on the porch steps.
Our living room tree is the biggest of the two (I have another in the family room) and this year I went in a completely different direction than I ever have before! I decorated in shades of blush, with lots of white and some silver, and I love the softness it created.
I’m totally smitten with bottle brush trees and have them scattered in several little vignettes around the house.
The fireplace is covered in two types of faux garland, as well as some mercury glass votive candleholders and my glittery Merry Christmas banner I found! The knit stockings are new this year and I’m in love! They have such a vintage feel – very up my alley 😉
The little tree adds some extra sparkle on the fireplace hearth.
Thank you so much for visiting! If you are new here, I hope my Christmas lights at night have inspired the spirit of the season just a little for you.
And to you, my faithful subscribers and regular readers, I wish you the very happiest of holidays! May you be surrounded by family and friends, who envelope you in love, happiness, and light.
On that note, I’ll be taking a short break to spend some much-needed quality time with my own family. I’ll be back on January 1st with my annual Maison de Cinq’s Top Ten Posts! Hope to see you then!
Merry Christmas!
