Merry Christmas! ‘Tis the season to decorate. There’s something about Christmas that makes us want to decorate our doorways. Although the best time to view most Christmas decorations is after dark, there is something to be said for daytime viewing, especially when the house has a nice front door! (And if you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know that I like doors).
Understated with a few silver balls in some greenery. Isn’t the door a lovely shape?
Matching planters beside a door with a wonderful stone door frame.
A Christmas wreath on another wood door… but this one has unique hinges.
A wreath and a reindeer with a red ribbon.
I think that our personalities are revealed by what we choose to decorate with.
Inflatable decorations are now everywhere.
Choo Choo! Here comes Santa with his train. Nice purple front door (with wreath and planter too).
This Santa has a teddy bear…. this must be popular because I saw a few!
When I took these pictures the other day, I didn’t realize how many of the front doors had wreaths on them. Once upon a time we may have associated wreaths with some sort of symbolism (unending circles = everlasting life) but now we use them to help brighten up the season.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to add some cheer to these dark December days! I hope that you have a chance to enjoy walking around a neighbourhood or two to enjoy what others have done with their front doors, porches, and yards this holiday season. If not, you probably have another week or two before the wreaths come down and all the “stuff” gets put away for another year. Have fun!!
