Yes, Christmas has come to the farm. The Christmas decorations went up outside on November 2nd. a lovely warm day. Today I started on the inside.
Next weekend is our annual Christmas party, I cannot believe it is here already and then it will be 34 days until Christmas!!
I am trying to keep the decorating a little simpler this year. I am Norwegian/Canadian and I love the Scandinavian Christmas decorating style. Now that the farmhouse is painted inside in shades of white I am going to use a lot of green, white and gold accents. Of course I will have some splashes of red it is Christmas after all.
Lighting is so important at Christmas. I have all of these gorgeous Swedish stars, they are from Ikea and I just love the warm glow they have.
The lwall tree is a great idea , so simple but really impressive.
Being Norwegian we celebrate two Christmas's. We have St. Lucia on December 13th. That is when the Nisse (Norwegian) or Tomte ( Swedish) little Gnome comes on Christmas Eve. I will tell you more about that in another post I will say if he does not get his porridge with an almond he is not a happy gnome!
So I had better get back to my decorating. I hope you are all having a lovely weekend and maybe you should think about decorating too.
Lovely pictures Sue, we had snow here this weekend so it's looking very wintery but I just can't get into the Christmas spirit. Have a wonderful party and happy decorating! Deb xo
