Christmas in the Swyers' House

Anyone who knows me in the slightest can tell you that Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. If it was socially acceptable, I would have Christmas lights on my house year round! There is just this indescribable feeling that this time of year gives me. On top of my already incredible obsession with Christmas I gave birth to my son in 2010 on Christmas Day!

I thought it would be fun to show you guys around my house a little and give you a peak at some of my favorites posted around my house. I will tell you that I buy 99% of my seasonal décor at thrift stores so I cant provide links!

My top shelf of my left book case has 2 snowmen plates, one I bought at a local thrift store for $.49 and the other was a gift from my mother a few years ago. In the center I have a large snowglobe with a vintage/retro Christmas tree inside. I bought this one at a thrift store a few months ago for only $2.99. The two smaller globes were gifts from my MIL, she bought them at my local Navy Exchange. The two snowmen on the outside are so adorable! My mother gave me one as a present 6 years ago. I believe she bought it at Cracker Barrel. The other I bought at a thrift store for $1.99 (are you guys getting sick of me mentioning thrift stores yet?!)

Second shelf is a little less busy. The large snowglobe on the left actually spins! One pyramid has a scene with a snowman and the other has Santa. I purchased this one only a few weeks ago at, can you guess, a thrift store for $3! The glitter monogram was from TJ Maxx for $9. The three candles that look like cookies were bought at a thrift store for $.49 a piece.

My entertainment center has A LOT going on, but that's just how I do things. GO BIG OR GO HOME. The small lantern and trees are from Walmart. The ceramic trees were all bought at thrift stores. The snowglobe was another gift from my MIL from the NEX. The polar bear salt & pepper shakers are from TJ Maxx. The three mosaic candles are from Kohls 6 years ago! Finally my small tree and tree skirt are from Hobby Lobby. I bought them this season a few weeks ago when they had all their Christmas selection 50% off.

Im almost done I promise! I just can't help but ramble on and on about Christmas! I want to show you guys a few of my favorite tree ornaments. My mother sent me this ice cream snowman  a few weeks ago and its my ABSOLUTE favorite ornament on my entire tree. Ok one more then I promise I'm done! This tiny little snowglobe that has 2 snowmen inside. I, of course, bought it at Goodwill for $.99

I know this has to be the longest blog post in existence but can you blame me?! I am always in the Christmas spirit. Please send me pictures of your tree and you decorations! You can send them to me on Instagram or tag me in them @sharonswyers
