Christmas in July~ Christmas Trees

Happy Friday everyone!

Today is the last installment in my Christmas in July series.

I think the best way to end the week is to wrap up with Christmas Trees!

I love to have my tree decorated as early as possible that way I can enjoy it all Christmas season long.

We always keep our tree decorated until Jan.6th, which is All Kings Day,

 the start of Mardi Gras Season in New Orleans.

 Some people in New Orleans actually decorate their artificial trees for the Mardi Gras season.

 (I may have to do a post on that!)

Christmas in July- Wreaths

 I always feel that the front door sets the tone for the way you decorate your home.

I love, love, love, wreaths- and not just for the front door either.

 I think that you can add wreaths all over your house.

Here are just a few that caught my eyes for the Christmas season.

Christmas in July- Merry Christmas Mantles

I am {OBSESSED} with mantles.

I think this is because we don't have one in our house.

We were able to pick and choose what we wanted in our house when we built it and we went with French Door opening to our deck into our backyard, instead of a fireplace.

There are only about 2 weeks a year I wish we had a fireplace.

There are a lot of weeks I wish we had a mantle.

I would love to have a place to decorate.

 I do have a very large entertainment center that I decorate a lot but its still not a mantle in the traditional sense that I would like.

 

Here are some of the {BEAUTIFUL} mantles I have found around blog land -

and apparently polk a dots are huge!

I love them too :)

Bring on the Holidays!

Christmas in July- Porches

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I love to decorate the outside of my house for Christmas.

I was able to get a few links of some traditional porches and a few not so traditional porches.

Enjoy everyone!

Have a Happy Tuesday everyone!

Remember to spread the word, and come back by tomorrow for Christmas wreaths!

It's Christmas In July

Make sure you stop by each day this week.

I will have a round up each day of different Christmas ideas.

I have complied different links for Christmas themes.

I have links for wreaths, mantles, porches & front doors, Christmas Trees,

 and even some fun Elf on the Shelf Ideas.

 I had the best time doing this with my kids this year.

I am really looking forward to it this year.

 I have found the best blogs through my research too.

 Can't wait to share these links with y'all. Hope to see y'all around this week!

 Spread the word to all your friends!

It's Christmas in July!
