My Mom’s Christmas Magic

Swanson Christmas TreeChristmas time at my mom and dad’s house is always so magical. My mom decorates everything with such detail! And occasionally the weather cooperates too, and we are treated with a beautiful Christmas inside and outside of the house!

Swanson Snow 2013My mom organizes her decorations by theme and color, and going through her house you move through various scenes of Christmas!

Swanson Christmas GarlandStarting at the front door, you’ll notice the beautiful garland on the stairs!

Swanson Christmas Santa PianoYou’ll see Santas on the piano!

Swanson Christmas NativityThere’s a nativity on the stereo cabinet.

Swanson Chrismas HutchShe even decorates the flowers on her hutch! Here we also see scenes of music, with the treble clef on the wall (it’s always there) and the angels on the hutch!

Swanson Christmas Living RoomThe whole room is decorated and magical!

In the kitchen, we find scenes of delicious Christmas treats: there are gingerbread men and a cooking Mr. and Mrs. Claus, pictures of my brothers and I as children making Christmas cookies, and a Christmas tree filled with kitchen themed ornaments and garland!

Ornaments on the kitchen’s Christmas tree are things like cookies, candy, and tea!

Then downstairs, we find a winter wonderland!

Even the bathroom in the basement is decorated with snowmen!
