Christmas is less than a week away, and I can hardly believe it! I really haven’t even begun to wrap my head around the fact, that right behind it is a new year, with all the new possibilities it will bring. I have to say though, I think my favorite part about having our Christmas decor up, is the glow of the white lights at night. That is always the part I miss the most when it comes time to take down the decorations. So to savor every bit of it, I wanted to share some pics of tree all aglow at night, and I’ve teamed up with some blogging friends who are also sharing little bits around their home of Christmas lights at Night. I’ve included the lyrics to one of my favorite Christmas songs throughout the post, for a special nighttime Christmas lights tour. Enjoy!
We come in from our travels
Lay our gifts beneath the tree
My mother’s in the kitchen
The parade is on TV
My father’s with his father
They’re setting out some toys
The kids all want the train he’s had
Since he was a boy
To be with You, to be with You
I love this time of year
It always brings me here
To be with You
I fall in with my sisters
Just like when we were young
My grandma holds the baby
She rocks and softly hums
We gather round the table
We close our eyes and sing
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
To be with You, to be with You
I love this time of year
It always brings me here
To be with You … Praise God from whom all blessings flow
We set our milk and cookies
The kids are quick to bed
They know St. Nick is coming
And nothing need be said
We gather by the fire
Reminiscing by its light
The kids will be up early
But it’s hard to say goodnight
To be with You, to be with You
I love this time of year
It always brings me here
To be with You, to be with You
I love this time of year
It always brings me here
To be with You
I hope you enjoyed the night time view we get to enjoy every night. And I hope however you have decorated your home this holiday season, that you are truly enjoying it, and soaking it all in, because this season will be over before we know it!
Be sure to stop by my friends houses to see their Christmas lights at night too!

Love all the posts…I feel the same way about the beauty of twinkling Christmas lights. We gradually took down our decorations but left up the snowy tree with white lights up for a few extra days. I loved the glow it gave our room as simple and elegant as it was. In a way, I wish I could have kept it up for much longer but my husband wouldn’t have it! Ugh! Until next year…

So beautiful, Bre. I love your tree! Merry Christmas!

Bre,
What a wonderful idea to include such great lyrics with your gorgeous holiday tour. Your home is so, so pretty and I love that you used a chunky wool blanket as a tree skirt. Looks like you are ready for Christmas! Happy Holidays!

I totally agree with you Bre. I love the soft lights of the tree (I should say trees). I catch myself at night just walking through the house and looking at my decorations. Actually my favorite time is early in the morning I slip out of bed, go downstairs to our family room, flip on the Christmas tree lights (It’s still pretty dark out) fix a cup of coffee, get my big cozy warm throw, get comfy in my chair and just relax, it’s quiet and I love just sitting and looking at our tree. It’s so cozy and I feel very Blessed!
