Classic Christmas Home Tour 2024 {The Den}

I’m back today with a video and photo tour of my personal favorite Christmas room of the lot – our den. This room just makes me SO happy, and I spend as much time as possible here during the Christmas season. Along with the kitchen, our den and office are the most used rooms of the house. I love to make them as merry and festive as possible.

I’ve had most of my holiday decor for years, and only add or change a couple of things from year to year. I mostly stick to very traditional greenery and colors throughout our home at the holidays.

The tree in our family room holds all of our favorite ornaments. From little snowmen crafted by tiny hands to ornaments carried home from special vacations, this tree is loaded with memories. It is always a joy to unbox them at the start of each Christmas season!

Over at the fireplace, the stockings are collected from Ballard Designs over the years as our family grew – pups included. The wood monograms on the stockings are from Build A Cross Canton.

One of my favorite Christmas things is the magic light wand that is set up to turn on our den tree and garland. I have given them as gifts a few times and the recipients always, always love them. <3 All of my other trees are on remote switched linked at the bottom of this post. It is one of the best investments I’ve ever made!!

The coffee table always gets a festive flower arrangement, a bowl of candy, a fragrant candle and seasonal magazines. IMy favorite Christmas candle HERE. I’ve used this scent for three years now and love it! .

As I unpack my Christmas decor, I repack the boxes with decorative items I use the rest of the year. I love to swap out our framed photos with the boy’s Santa pictures from over the years. Get all of my tips and tricks for arranging flowers in THIS VIDEO!

My plaid pillows were all collected over the years at Homegoods. The tree pillows are from Everyday Occasions and the Pendleton blanket was my souvenir from Alaska, made especially for the McKinley Lodge at Denali National Park!

Over in the corner, you can see our record player that is almost always spinning with the Elf soundtrack vinyl.

Two comfy chairs I’ve had forever sit on either side of an antique table Mother gave me last year. It was her Uncle’s when she was a child.

Like Mother, I love tucking holiday books all over the house. I have spent many Christmas holidays snuggled by the fire reading one of her many Christmas stories. These sit on the garden stool at the end of the sofa. The photo snow globes were made with friends during an annual craft day hosted by a friend.

Just like at Halloween, the banquette gets a puzzle for Christmas too! This one is from the Disney Store. Mother made the boys’ silhouette pillows years ago. They move around the house frequently.

I had our Christmas card picture printed onto a board a couple of years ago (Shutterfly) and absolutely love it displayed here.

The mugs were from my etsy shop a few years ago. I love to find special holiday treats to use all season long – Trader Joe’s and WalMart usually have great choices.

Over on the TV wall the antlers really work this time of year, although they are a permanent fixture in the room. :-) I downloaded the art from etsy last year.

This year I have my grandma’s shiny brites in one of Mother’s old siver trays. I love seeing them here and that they aren’t just lost on the tree. I bought the fun dice game for John’s Sweet Sixteen and we continue to enjoy them. A stack of the boys Christmas storybooks marks precious memories of their childhood.

I had a bunch of santa and elf hats, headbands and other gear also from John’s Sweet Sixteen . I put them in a basket for when inspiration strikes. :-)

The last little piece of the den is over on the wall next to the kitchen. This precious nativity was from the BlessedMommaToBabyGirls Instagram sale four years ago.
