Does it feel like winter where you are? I had wanted to share photos of our
outdoor decorations and Christmas porch covered in snow, but the weather has
been unseasonably warm. Not that I mind – I’m not a fan of winter so the less
snow to shovel, the better.
One outdoor task I do enjoy is setting up our Christmas Porch Decor. I try and
create a nostalgic feel with our porch display. There’s something joyful about
walking by a house and being reminded of childhood memories and festive
celebrations of years gone by.

every year and they really give our house a classic Christmas look. My favourite detail is the large fabric plaid bow on the chimney wreath which coordinates with the other bows.
Our Christmas outdoor decor wouldn’t be complete without the garlands on the
fence and over our garage. Since we have white fencing on each side of our
house, adding the garland creates a cohesive and finished look to the entire
scheme.
I’m just waiting for a snowfall now to give our decorations that cozy, wintry
feel. I hope you’ve enjoyed this look at our Christmas porch!
