Stephen Caton: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.....at The Caton Home!!

Well, its beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Caton household; we got a head start this year! Every year for my mother's Christmas present, her friend Nichole decorates our house. This year was no exception and it looks FABULOUS! Of course, I had to add my own special touches to everything. This year, we used a lot of fresh magnolia greenery. It looks so great! The only thing is I don't look forward to is having to take it down an replacing it before Christmas. Like everything else we do, our Christmas decorations are planned out to a T. Every room has its own theme and its own tree. The kitchen/breakfast room is gingerbread, the den is snowmen, the living room and dining room are full of fresh magnolia, greenery, berries, bows, and balls, my room is Auburn, and Hope's room is just cute and girly. We put up our main Christmas tree in the dining room; it is a "themed" tree where we put all of our presents. In the den, we have a smaller Christmas tree where we put all of our mismatched ornaments we've collected/made over the years. Hope and I each have our own trees in our room; mine is Auburn, and hers is cute and girly. In the breakfast room we have a gingerbread tree. We always pop some popcorn and make garland for this tree. I just love Christmas. I love spending time with family, eating great food, decorating the house, opening presents, and most importantly, celebrating the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
