Still can’t handle how much we love doing this…

After nine years, I am not sure I have much to say other than this is the one thing that continues to tickle my heart at Christmas. So come on in…

We went a bit graphic pop with paper from Poketo which we snagged last year from Sonic Boom (who always do the funnest selection at Christmas).

We hope the magic of Christmas is on the other side for you and yours, as always and with love.

The door to Christmas at Social Nesting HQ opens with a very special wrap job, and this year, some very special company stopped in to help…


Aside from the tree, the Christmas Door is the one bit of decor we border on giddy about. It just isn’t Christmas without the presence of an oversized present lurking in the corner of the room. So without further ado…

Out came the trusty tools, the wrap from World Market and some jute ribbon from Michaels, and the template we made to get the whole for the door knob and latch in just the right spot…

…and how special it felt to be able to have the episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show – the one that inspired this Christmas decor staple – on in the background as we did it.

So for those who missed the countless retellings of this story: it was the mid-70s, and a young boy was watching a rerun of a Christmas episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The original airing, in December 1970, was while he was in-utero, but who’s to say it didn’t make its way to the womb then too. Just saying: one should never underestimate the power of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Anyway, back to the mid-70s… so, when he saw the most exciting decorating touch he had ever seen, Mary’s front door wrapped like a giant present, he vowed that one day, in a place of his own, he would do the very same thing.

And so it came to pass that we are on year eight of a wrapped door. And every year it is as thrilling to create, and to share with guests, as that very first sighting was.

Come on in, won’t you?

New HQ means new door to wrap. The right choice was the door to the storage cupboard under the stairs. In prime position and full view of the entrance, it was the spot-on spot for our dose of holiday fun!

And easier than ever with a little help from this gorgeous gift wrap from Hallmark and Dollar Store ribbon.

… the Christmas is a gift-wrapped door.

After four years of Christmas doors (2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013),

Christmas Doors

…we were almost out of ideas.

We were keen on ‘Russian Folk’ as our Christmas theme this year – the beautiful and intricate florals and wonderful palette of blacks and reds and golds. So perfect. Yet the right wallpaper eluded us.

So this year is a bit of a mishmash with cut shapes, two different papers and sticky-back plastic (cut by hand) to make up a Christmas lights wrapped door.
