This picture was taken at dusk.
I am praying for some snow this year! It has been a long time since we have had anything substantial! We use to get a lot of snow....I remember, when I was in school being out for days at a time due to large snows....I don't know what has happened, but it has been too long!!!!!! 
I don't know why some of these pictures look cloudy....probably the photographer...;) I have always had topiaries sitting on each side of the door that I always put lights on....but I sold them in a yard sale this Summer...they were starting to look faded. I never have bought any more to replace them. I used ferns on each side of the door during the Summer and now I am using this Snow Family....I like it better!!! 
All of the lights get a little decor. These are just swags I bought at Hobby Lobby one year after Christmas. 
I keep the front door simple...so I can see the lights through the door. This year I added the "W" ....Remember, I showed it in a post I did about the Tinsel and Treasure show....here. Some of you have ask about where it came from...here is the info....Berry Chic 865-216-7671 or Click here to view their website. They have several great items and a fantastic website.
This is just another swag from Hobby Lobby a couple years ago....I added the sloppy bow...;) 
This Snow Family came from the Christmas Show at the Expo here in Knoxville....I bought them several years ago....They are holding up very well. I saw the lady that makes them again this year at the show....boy, did she have some cute ones this year.
I remember when I bought these I liked them because the Mom was holding two little boys(well, I think they are boys..LOL) Since I have two boys...not so little anymore....I had to have this family.....then Mom is holding a sign that says..." A shopping we will go" You know why I had to get them now don't you....Shopping????Hmmmmm
Another picture of it snowing:) Yeah, I know I'm a nut for taking a picture of this little bit of snow....lol
Y'all remember Miss Birdie....well, she found a new spot for the winter! She just looks so cold to me, she needs a coat on...:)Come on back in the house, get you some Hot Wassail, a cookie, and make yourself at home.
That Wassail mix is the best! I use to make it home made...but after I found this stuff...I don't bother with buying all those juices to make it! This mix is found usually at gift shops, decor boutiques, and Christian Book Stores. It's also a great item to keep on hand, when you need a little gift to give someone! Part 3 of My Tennessee Christmas will be coming up soon! I am so glad all Y'all came by to visit with me today! Merry Christmas, Nancy

Nancy,
Nice job on your entrance! I love your snow people, that is different then putting out trees (I think that is what I might be doing though).
Can't wait to see part 3.
Thank you for showing your beautiful home. I like your little snow family. I so miss the craft shows...the one I went to this year just didnt have anything really unique or different. I like the different items.
I like Christmas Wassail also but havent made it in a couple of years. I have had cookies on hand though and they go great with a really good cup of tea!
What a beautiful home and I love your Christmasdecorations. I mostly love the snowpeople. I have never seen that before. Wonderful.

Your home is beautiful. I think I may have the same paint color in my house that you have in your kitchen. Pretty similar. I love it. I especially love the lantern in the metal urn outside. Thanks for letting us tour your beautiful home.
