    Jeg er gjerne med :D
    Julen er rød for meg, så endel røde detaljer som "god jul" bokstaver, bånd, hjerter o.l. Også endel naturpynt som lite furutre i sinkbøtte, lerkegreiner og kongler :D

    Denne sjansen kan jeg jo ikke la gå fra meg!
    Her hjemme har jeg alltid AMBISJONER om å ha et gjennomført juletema, men vi ender alltid opp med ei salig blanding. Gammel og ny julepynt, pynten som barna har laget er selvsagt aller viktigst. Barnslig nostalgisk beskriver det kanskje best hvis jeg legger godviljen til Ü Men jeg inkluderer gjerne farger som jeg liker godt, og som kanskje ikke er typiske julefarger (i år f.eks. blir det små detaljer i rosa og gult).
    Jeg skulle gjerne møtt opp personlig, men det blir alt for langt borte. Krysser fingrene! Og god adventstid til deg.

    Jeg vil gjerne være med og vinne fine ting, T A K K !
    Hjemme pynter vi ikke til jul før Lille Julaften, nå går det mest i adventfarge lilla og masse stearinlys. Men når Lille Julaften kommer, skal alt det fine rødt og rosa (!) frem! Og litt turkis. Men bare hvis den har oppført seg pent. Mest går det i hjemmelaget pynt, i felt, i pepperkaker, i papir. Takk igjen!

    I år pyntes det med rødt og rosa i ulike fargetoner. Kuttet ut juletreet til fordel for et lite bjørketre som jeg har hengt opp hotisontalt i stuevinduet. Rosa, gull, sølv og lilla kuler i forskjellige kuler henger ned og skaper et vakkert lysspill av alle de levende lysene som står på bordet under. Veldig fornøyd. Levende lys, svibler med mose og lerkekvister og fin musikk - det er jul!

    I enjoy the subtle decor of Christmas. White twinkle lights behind sheer curtains, touches of silver and gold here and there, the smells of cinnamon, cloves and oranges. Fresh cut cedar sprigs in mason jars tied up with eggplant colored bows. Simple but pretty yet warm and inviting.
    What a great giveaway, your picks are beautiful.

    I decorate for christmas with all the things that I have accumulated over the years...kind of a mix-match...and also with some of the things I just can´t resist to buy :) But my favorite item is a vintage christmas topping that belonged to my parents :)

    Normally we have a lit Christmas tree with every ornament I ever bought over the past 18 years. Then the mantle gets draped in greenery and lights and some more little ornaments that would get lost in the tree. This year, we are in a smaller place so adjustments have to be made. Here's to a happy Christmas to everyone.

    Jeg dekorerer my med engler, hvitt og ungenes kreasjoner. I fjor fikk det komme en nisse inn i betong fra plantasjen. Han fungerer som hagenisse på sommeren og julenisse på vinteren. Genialt!

    I utgangspunktet liker jeg få ting som skiller seg ut og tar plass i seg selv, men det har endret seg litt da etter at ungene har begynt å lage ting. Det er jo ekstra hyggelig å dekorere her hjemme med det og vise de at vi setter pris på det :)

    I'm using only red decorations; I think it makes the green of the tree look so lovely and christmassy.
    On the table I put some long branches in a glass jug decorated with only small red shiny hearts. It's my favourite and then candles, candles, candles!

    We'll be leaving the tree at home for a bit while on holiday in Germany, so this year we've opted for a branchy sapling draped in white lights, vintage glass ornaments and feathery child creations. We've tucked boxwood in nooks and in wreaths and on mantle places and hope for snow and a festive homecoming!

    Hei! Jeg vil gjerne være med! Vi feirer første jul i nytt hus, så her prøver vi oss litt frem. Endelig har vi hvite flater stort sett overalt, så vi står rimelig fritt i forhold til valg av farger til pynten. På loftstua har vi rødt, sølv og hvitt. Her har noen få nisser fått plass også, det er kjekt for barna. I førsteetasjen er det mer hvitt, sølv og sink som gjelder - med innslag av grønt og lilla. Lerkegreiner, kongler, nøtter og granbar hjelper på stemningen, og jeg ser at jeg har en stor forkjærlighet for stjerner i ulike materialer - kjøpt og hjemmelaget. Lukten av nybakt brød, pepperkaker eller annen julemat utgjør prikken over i`en. :) Det var mitt julehus.

    Hjemme hos oss tar vi i år bare frem det som betyr aller mest. Jeg har vært syk i flere måneder og da begrenser det seg hva man får til. Den rette stemningen hos oss: hvite, deilig duftende svibler i gamle syltetøyglass, sølvstjerne, flittig bruk av hyggelige lyslykter, barnas selvlagde engler i lysekronen, det strikka nisseparet som bestemor vant til meg på lotteri i min barndom, juletre pyntet i hvitt og sølv og selvfølgelig Josef, Maria og Jesusbarnet. God jul!

    Hi there - I've made some huge white tissue paper balls which are handing amongst simple white lights in my kitchen, I have a pink, white, red and duck egg blue theme (cups, jugs, pink and white marshmallow in a jar with white stripped back wood) running along side that and of course a few 50's vintage baubles in and around. I was lucky to find some vintage Christmas lights too this year - my best yet.

    I vårt hus er julen veldig utradisjonell uten både rød pynt og nisser. Her pynter vi med dekor i glass, gjerne litt tre for en rustikk følelse, hvitt og sølv med noen elementer av gull :)

    I have made gold paper bunting to hang across my ceilings with fairy lights and decorations made by my young children. So there is a lot of glitter and paper decorations. We also have a home-made advent calender for our mantelpiece. I haven't done the tree yet!

    I just love your blog! Thank you for your inspiration.

    We decorate with bright colors and handmade items from my mother and grandmother. It's a collection of fun memories.

    Happy Holidays,

    We start with white Christmas lights on the porch and cut boughs for the mantles and railings inside; the tree has lots of handmade ornaments from when we were kids. My favorite is an antique felt advent calendar with little stuffed pieces that my mother used when she was little. Thank you!

    Eventhough we won't be home for christmas this year I started decorating in the begining of december so we can really get into the christmas spirit. Previouse years I havn't decorated and it feels that christmas is way too short. We have made gingerbread cookies and a house with the kids and decorated branches for a x-mas tree. Listneing to christmas songs and burning candles is the best christmas spirit bringer! :)

    Merry Christmas, I love your blog.

    I choose a theme every year that gets done from tree to mantel to tabletops: the themes are thing plus a colour scheme: last year was angels and blue and silver, this year it`s birds and white and gold.

    I love Christmas!

    For a start I had made of felt garland in the window, then adorned with white branches that hang over the dining table with white hearts, Christmas trees and stars, and then poveshala at the front door, and finally we recently put the tree under which the gifts are already on)) the most important decoration for Christmas - it's my pregnancy) we day by day waiting for the birth of our daughter - Mia. I love your blog and wish you and your family in the new year of happiness and health)

    We use silver ornaments (stars, bells, snowflakes) and lights. We also made a smaller "tree" with branches and birds. Since in Argentina is summertime, we spend Christmas outside in the swimming pool!
    Merry Christmas! Thanks, I´ll keep my fingers crossed.

    We are restoring our new-old house, but even though this is a Christmas with lots of things packed in boxes we took out our small nativity coming from Mexico: inside a twisted wood log, carefully adapted by grandpas raising money for a charity, two sweet Mum&Dad look at the sweetest baby, who just shows his bottom while sleeping and smiling...

    what a truly lovely gift...

    my little home is decorated with bows, twinkling lights and sweet little 'paperboatpress' ornaments...brown paper packages tied with string...all wrapped together with love and laughter.

    i'll be by the sea on christmas day, basking in the summer sunshine.

    wishing you the happiest of days

    for christmas we have decorated simply with paper and crafts we can make ourselves- my two daughters and I. we have a "tree" made from wood and tied together teepee style at the top- draped with lights and tinsel and paper feathers. we cut out the word "joyeux" and covered it with dusty pink glitter. we have an advent calendar that we all embroidered pockets for. i like it simple and homemade.

    This year I had a white christmas in house. Only white decoration with a touch of green natural branches. To me it felt festive, light, clean and crisp. A perfect way to end last year and start 2012.

    Best whishes for 2012

    Regards,

    Kitty
