\u201cGod rest ye merry gentlemen<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Let nothing you dismay<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n To save us all from Satan\u2019s powers when we were gone astray<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Oh, tidings of Comfort and Joy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Oh, tidings of Comfort and Joy\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So says one of the oldest known Christmas carols, dating back to the 16th century\u2026and yet it rings true for us in this unprecedented Christmas 2020 season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the d\u00e9cor world, we\u2019ve talked about the term \u201ccozy\u201d in a whole new way over the past year.\u00a0 Prominent stores now have entire online shopping sections dedicated to \u201cCozy Home\u201d or \u201cHomebody\u201d d\u00e9cor and apparel.\u00a0 The top-selling, sequined, party Christmas apparel seems to have been largely replaced with cute pajamas, soft loungewear, and the fuzziest slippers.\u00a0 Everything in our world beckons us to \u201chome.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can see why Comfort and Joy seemed like the right Christmas theme for this year!\u00a0 So, grab a cup of coffee and welcome to our Christmas 2020 Home Tour.\u00a0 We will begin at the front door (though we really should start at the side door, because that\u2019s where our friends enter!)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201214-Christmas-2020-Home-Tour-3-scaled.jpg” title_text=”20201214 Christmas

ornaments we choose for our kids every year.\u00a0 Some of our favorites are from special trips and events, like our Alaska summer trip or trips to Disney.\u00a0 One of my very favorite ornaments is a
