Holiday decorations

This is my first year attempting any kind of holiday decorating.  I'm Jewish, so I don't celebrate christmas and have never ventured to decorate because its not something my family ever did.  I decided this year however that I love the beautiful lights, colors and warm feeling of the holiday season so much that I would  do a bit of decorating.....here is what I came up with.  Probably not as fancy as most but its a start and I think it adds a nice warm holiday touch to our townhouse

My menorah on the mantle

Lights in glass jars and across the mantle

The sparkly themed coffee table tray



Since my decorations are relatively lackluster I found some images to inspire you....
