Here in Colorado our screened-in porch is unusable in the winter. We are presently in a period of a week strait of temperatures below freezing, and that is snow out in the yard! But, I usually decorate for Christmas a little bit on the porch so there is something festive to see through the living room French doors.
Bob made the primitive Santa about 25 years ago. The family calls him Santa Bob because we think it is actually a self-portrait!

The 'wonky' tree seems to belong with Santa Bob. Yes, that is dirt you see on the floor - just pretend it adds to the rustic nature of the decorations.
We really do need to get the sweeper out there -- another thing on the 'to do' list this week. Is your 'to do' list also very lengthy this time of the year?
But, I'm taking time this week to check out the following for mega inspiration:
Must Love Junk for a rustic Christmas on 12/9
Cozy Little House for Tweak it Tuesday
Ivy and Elephants for What's It Wednesday
The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home Friday
Funky Junk Interiors for Saturday Nite Special
