Yesterday afternoon, while my son Anthony was studying for his Christmas examinations, Jan and I decorated our Christmas tree. With some Christmas carols as background music , it was a very nice afternoon!
So we placed our tree in the dining room because this room is situated between the kitchen and the sitting area. We can enjoy the Christmas tree sitting in the kitchen and even sitting in the living room as well.
Here (picture above) I am standing in the kitchen looking at the dining room. The double door you see, is the door towards the sitting area. (For some reason the picture is not of a good quality, sorry for that!)
This (picture above) is the view from the sitting area towards the dining room. The double door you see here is the one to the kitchen.
The tree is waiting for the Christmas gifts I have to buy the coming days!
I love my Christmas decoration ornaments. Some of them I have been decorating with for years now.
Here you can see some of my favorites.
I love this Santa face!!
Another Santa I have since many years.A collection of little bears.
My mum made these hand-sewed little pillows with the first letter of our name on it.
The “R” from Ralph ( our dog).
The “J” from Jan.
And this beautiful glitter peace sign ornament I was sent from Monika from the Splendid Willow blog.
Thank you Monika!
These sacs are also made by my mum!
Aren’t they cute?
These Santas are my favorites!!
I putted them on the mantel piece of our orangery.
This white beard is hanging on a door handle. .
I know I adore Santas! I can’t help!
Hope you loved my Christmas decoration.

Thank you for sharing your Christmas tree. It is beautiful. As someone who has never been fortuntate enough to travel out of the US, I have so enjoyed following your blog and learning about Belgian culture and all the beauty that goes with it.
Oh I love your tree. It seems we both love Santas. I enjoyed seeing yours–come and see mine….–Delores
Thats my kind of tree!! Every ornament has a story and are a bit mismatched.Every ornament I put on my tree reminds me of someone or something. My sister lives in Dorset,UK and this year she is renting her tree. A man brings it and then removes it after Christmas and if you like it you can tag it for next year.This idea has probably been in the rest of Europe for years but its a novelty to us.

Very sweet and sentimental, Greet. Your dining room is beautiful. I love the dog ornaments.

Very pretty, Greet! I like that you put your tree in a room where it can be enjoyed from other areas of the house, too.
Hi,
You have a fantastic Christmas tree ! I like your ornaments too, both the bears and the letter ornaments.
Have a lovely week

Fijne avond en geniet van je mooie Kersthuis.

The tree is just lucious! I love the ornaments.
Hi Greet- Your ornaments are charming- I'm always so impressed when people can get their trees up this early in the season (at least to me it's early!). I just got my mantle done yesterday- maybe you'd like to see it!
My tree will just have to wait………Robin

Hope you enjoy your Christmas decor…
Your home looks beautiful dressed in all the Christmas magic and I love that you put your tree in the dining room. ~jermaine~
So beautiful!!
And I adore your two Santas on the mantel!
Isn't it wonderful to get out the ornaments we cherish every year-handmade, commemorating special dates. I have several generations of them on my tree-I hope your son will continue the collection and traditions. Beautiful as always with you and your home. G
Lovely tree you've got, gorgeous!
Love the tree, your house looks gorgeous!

Your tree is beautiful Greet. Ax
Hello girlie, your tree looks beautiful (would not expect anything else!). And I am so glad that a special, little glittery ornament with a key message made it to your tree!
Your Mom is very talented. It obviously runs in the family!
Happy weekend beautiful Greet!

Great post.
Decorating is in the same group as home improvements as it is improving your homes appearance as well as the general feel and relaxation of your home, in other words it is like remodelling your home without the expense. There are many types of home interior decorating styles for decorating your home, for example modern, contemporary and antique styles.
Decorations are so beautiful. I was looking at the pictures today and it seems like I could see the tree lights as a garland of lights. Is this correct and I have not seen them here in the states. I love your posts and look forward to seeing more in the coming New Year. Happy New Year to you and your family. Judy E.
