Christmas Front Porch

Invariably I get down to the last few days before Christmas and I start running out of time to share all my pics of Christmas around my house. So here are a few from the front porch. We went through a really cold snap about the time I was decorating it, so it sort of got lost in the fact that I wasn't going to turn into a popsicle working on more fluffing.

I managed to get out the basics to give a little Christmas Cheer and Welcome. 

I did the door basket first thing after Thanksgiving. Faux mixed greenery and a few sprigs of holly mix together for a simple winter look. I'll probably keep this out here after Christmas awhile. 

Christmas Plaid Tartan ribbon around the basket with a few bells took it up a notch. Here's a pic from the entry for a little light that isn't glaring from the glass front door. I hate that no matter the time of day, I can't get a shot of the door that doesn't reflect the street.

Speaking of the street, I've mentioned that we live on a sort of traffic-y street. We live across the street from a large Junior High and Elementary School complex, so all the people that line up for student pick up get to view my meager efforts at outdoor Christmas decorating. I have to give them something halfway interesting to see each year. 

I buy all my holiday Christmas pillow covers from Amazon. The squirrels are bad to come sit on the pillows. not kidding... and leaving a mess. Nutshells, and they might as well be rodent toilet paper. yuk. These covers are easy to pop in the delicate cycle and freshen up, thank goodness.

A vintage Black Watch plaid wool scarf decorates the old sled.

The below pic had a little more going on with the garland over the back metal bench, but that's the year the squirrels ate all the red plastic berries on it. After that I realized it was a lost cause trying to put out much festive greenery. I wouldn't have wanted to deal with their gastric issues after that. Well second thought, maybe that's why my pillow covers are dirty.
