Keeping it Simple For Christmas in Franklin TN

Keeping It Simple For Christmas In Franklin TN

Clark Griswold I'm not! When I decorate the outside of our house for Christmas, I keep it very simple. No lights on the roof or up the trees, and no moving parts! While we enjoy driving the area and seeing those spectacular displays it doesn't quite work for us.

Our Cape Cod style house sits on five acres on a small country road. I use live garlands for all the decorations and I think they look great in the daytime as well as at night. We host a large Christmas party for our Sunday School small group and I know they appreciate the view as they make the drive up to our home in the country! BTW, yes, those are flowers, yellow pansies, that will grow all winter at the front of the house. I can't believe I'm saying this but a little dusting of snow would be nice!

Here's the daytime view:

At night-time it takes on different look, especially from the road. Here's the night view:

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas From Tom & Tammie White in Franklin TN!

Love it!  Of course, we live in a Cape Cod on 10 acres in the country, so what's not to love!  Your decorations are just beautiful.

Tom, so it sounds like Tammie White will be doing the decorating next year and she can lights and inflatables in the yard! 

Seriously, your home is beautiful The decorations are beautiful.  Sometimes less is more.  This is a rich, elegant and classy look. Not that you need or want it ... but you have my vote.

Belinda--Yes, I personally collect little branches and weave them into a garland. Not! There's this amazing place called Costco that has everything your heart desires Belinda Spillman !

Nicole--Tammie hates the movie Christmas Vacation but I'm just twisted enough to love it! And of course there's Cousin Eddie!

Li--Thank you so much.

Dick--Works for me...I'm not so great on ladders!

Susan--I knew there was something special about you!

Kathleen--I always want your vote! Tammie gives me "the look" and believe me I'm out decorating!

Good morning Tom. I am waiting for our new roof to be put on before I put up any decorations. I do not want my hard work to be disrupted.

Very nice indeed Tom and it looks very much like home and inviting at the same time. The kids must get goose pimples whenever they drive up the driveway coming home.

Oh, I love it. Your home is gorgeous, and I agree with Dorie, very classic.  It's important to make decor looks good in the glare of daylight too - your's does - well done.

So, Tom (and Tammie), being in the country has its very special rewards that not everyone gets. I DO. It is heaven to have a slice of that for ourselves. And to have this warm and truly inviting home (in the truest sense of the word) is a dream come true. I would feel deliriously happy to sit on that porch with you both!

Tom nothing to be ashamed of, it is a great decoration day and night. Trying to hang lights and running extension cords not only does it take planning, effort, time and money but it is exhausting too:) Hope you had a fantastic Christmas. I just stopped by to wish you a Prosperous 2015!, Endre
