Deck the Hall with Boughs of Jolly

12.03.2013 by Leah //

My favorite way of ‘decking the hall’:  filling up our console table with Christmas ornaments.

I chose to “grow” my Christmas ornaments collection by adding new pieces each year, instead of buying everything new to match a chosen theme or color palette.   Red, green and gold have always been our Christmas colors.  A bit traditional, yes, but nothing look so festive than these colors put together!

On the top layer of our console table are the following:

  • IKEA Red Rotera Lantern for Tea Light
  • Mantle glass jar from Ms. Ellen and recycled glass container for pasta noodles (that I turned into a tall ‘vase’), both filled up with Christmas balls in red, gold and green
  • Ceramic Christmas tree-shaped decor in glossy gold finish.  I got this from Uniwide for only P299.00.
  • Ceramic Christmas choo-choo train decor from S&R
  • Starbucks Cup Ornament Holiday Decor (I got this as gift last year)
  • My ‘Heart Manila Philippines’ from 43 Lucy Designs
  • Candle holders (the white one is from Creative Definitions, bought online via Taste Central)

At the bottom layer is my ‘growing’ collection of Christmas stuff toys – bought from S&R, Uniwide and True Value.  I hope next year manganak pa sila, hehe!

Our Union Jack Storage Chest was also decorated for the holidays.

On top:

  • Snowman stuff toy (from Uniwide)
  • Santa Claus Cookie Jar (I got this as gift last year also)
  • Ceramic decor (of Santa Claus playing the violin) from S&R
  • Christmas-themed tin can (bought at the Landmark for less than P100.00)
  • Christmas books (from Booksale)

To save on space, I placed our Christmas gifts inside this hand-woven basket that my mom gave me.

The other gifts (mostly books) were arranged neatly on this Christmas-themed food tray that I got from my Ninang Caro.

I really enjoy looking at our decors, eventhough they’re the same each year hehe!  Each piece is beautiful and special, and brings good cheer!
