Christmas House Tours 2012 Blog Link Party!
HHello, dear blog friends. I’m so happy you can join us for the Christmas Home Tours! I’ve been eagerly anticipating this event. I just posted my own Christmas Home Tour a short while ago, so feel free to stop by and take a look. Now I’m excited to visit you and our blogging neighbors to see how you’ve decorated and celebrate the season together.
This is one of the favorite times of year for many of us — sharing our homes, catching up over a virtual cup of hot chocolate, and enjoying the warmth of each other’s holiday spaces. The tour isn’t about having a flawlessly styled home or the most extravagant decorations. It’s about opening our doors and welcoming friends from near and far into the spirit of the season.
Even during moments of sorrow and difficulty that touch many of us this weekend, our homes serve as places of comfort and refuge. Thank you for inviting us in and sharing a little peace and light during the holidays.
Here are the Christmas home tour rules:
* Anyone may link up to three posts, whether old or new.
* You can add your links here at The Inspired Room or at Cottage Magpie. Links entered at either site will appear in both places since we are co-hosting the party together.
* Please include a link back to this post on The Inspired Room and to Angela at Cottage Magpie in your home tour post. You may need to edit your post to add the link. You can use a text link or insert the provided button in your post.
* The link-up will remain open until next Saturday morning.
* Both hosts will each select favorite posts for a round-up next Saturday. Only posts that include the required link backs will be considered for the featured round-up.
* Please be a gracious participant: visit as many other links as you have posted yourself. It’s a fair way to share the love and support each other’s blogs.
* You can find the schedule and topics for the other Christmas Linky Parties in the related post at Cottage Magpie.
I’m looking forward to visiting your homes — thank you for joining us!
The party links follow after the jump, so click “read more” on the blog to see all the entries. Placing them on a separate page helps the main post load faster.
The link-up widget appeared on the original post to make it easy to add your home tours. If you’d like to participate, please follow the rules above when adding your post. We’re excited to share and celebrate the many ways people decorate their homes for the season — from simple, cozy vignettes to full festive themes. Every home adds something unique to the tour, and we appreciate the time and care you put into sharing yours.
Tips for getting the most out of the tour:
- Link up a clear, photo-rich post so visitors can easily see your decorating ideas.
- Add the required links back to The Inspired Room and Cottage Magpie so your entry is eligible for the featured round-up.
- Engage with other participants by leaving thoughtful comments and visiting multiple links — it creates a friendlier, more connected community.
- If possible, refresh or update older posts you link so they reflect any current touches or seasonal changes you want to share.
Thank you again for joining the Christmas Home Tours. I can’t wait to browse your posts, enjoy your holiday creativity, and celebrate this special season with all of you. Happy decorating and happy touring!
