Welcome to a Riedel Christmas!
I'm obsessed with the " Be Merry" decal I bought from Etsy. I love how it looks. And you can read it as you drive by which hopefully will spread some joy. Matt built me a wreath holder but if you like the thought of that my sister in law sells them and they are gorgeous. My giant present is to hide some electrical cords. But it does the job. Here is the street view 
The candy canes light up in front if the garden. My Walmart purchase. 
The front entry. My college Christmas tree that is home to all of the ornaments we have been gifted over the years. There are even some Sigma ornament exchange ones! I drew the "oh come let us adore him". It's a foam board from the dollar store written on with silver sharpie to fake a chalkboard. 
Our stockings still need initials. Work in progress. Matt's nutcrackers. He really likes them so I try to get a new one each year. 
Here is our tree. I love the colors. 
Here is our first tradition we are starting with P. I have wrapped Christmas books and we will open one each night of December. I wrote the titles more for Matt and I but as she gets older it will be a surprise. 
I wrapped our canvas with our wrapping paper. Yes I'm weird and use plain brown paper. I think it fits my rustic-ish tree but I like it better than crazy wrapping paper. I like things to visually match. Weird I know. 
Last our just some minor decorations. Sock monkey pillows with a tiny couch runner to match. I made these a couple years ago with a pattern my co worker found. Super easy. They make great gifts.
These are the salt and pepper shakers my mother in law gave to me my first Christmas as a Riedel. She has a pair just like them. And then of course our Charlie Brown Christmas tree Matt bought at a silent auction to benefit ATO. Those silent auctions get him every time. 
Here is the wreath on our pantry door. I also have put up my Christmas card penants I made last year but the sunlight from the windows did not let the picture do it justice.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing a glimpse of our home! I have more Christmas crafts on my to do list to hopeful complete this year and it will continue to grow. This is my favorite holiday :)
