Kristin Lenz shares her Christmas Porch Decorations inspired by traditional Christmas colors, birch and Santa himself.
Our porch and our mantel are my two favorite spaces to decorate. I love changing them up for the Seasons. And every year I think what I’ve done is my favorite. Three things were my inspiration for this year. I knew I wanted to use birch poles, this Believe pillow and a classic colored plaid ribbon.

I don’t typically put a wreath on our front door. Most years I just let the door and side windows stand by itself. The stained glass windows give them instant style. Then I decorate around it.
I’ve had this Santa for years. I found him at a garage sale! He looks like he stepped straight out of a storybook and right onto my porch.
Thanks so much to Kelly of The Tattered Pew for bringing together a few of my fellow bloggers to share how their porches were decorated! You can find links at the bottom of this post to give all of them a visit.
I collect vintage thermos and this Holiday one is a favorite! The Let it Snow pillow was a fun find this year!
Picking out wrapping paper and ribbon is so much fun! I loved this mix of plaid, simple trees and green buffalo plaid. Black and white check and plaid ribbon are the perfect add-ons! I just wrapped empty shoe boxes and cracker boxes.
I filled my big green planters with birch and red branches.
You can see my green planters for Summer here and for Fall here. In the planter by the garage I added an old pair of green oars.
I love decorating with fresh greens and wrapping it around the porch railings. We buy it each year from the local Rotary Club fundraiser.
See more of last year’s porch in this post.
Thank you so much for coming to tour our Christmas Porch!

Your porch is awesome! Could you tell me where you purchased the plaid throw featured with your Believe pillow in the second photograph from the top. I have been looking for it and can’t find it. You do an amazing job with your decorating.
