Have you finished “decking the halls” for the holiday? My home has been decorated since the weekend before Thanksgiving, but we don’t turn on our outdoor lights or put up the Christmas tree until the day after Thanksgiving. It’s been a holiday to watch “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” after our Thanksgiving meal has filled our bellies and we’re ready for dessert. After the movie we turn on the outside lights. Our holiday season then “officially” begins.
It’s wonderful to have our entire home decorated, including the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen. Every room of our home has holiday decorations.
I absolutely LOVE holiday decorations, and every year I add a few new pieces to our holiday collection. My husband always jokes with that for every one decoration I get, I need to get rid of three (ha ha). He only jokes about that because our Christmas decorations literally take up about 75% of our basement storage area. Needless to say, we love to decorate.
When Christmas is all said and done, and our decorations are packed up and back in the basement until next holiday season, our home looks so dull and boring. No more things that light up. No more things that play music. It’s sad.
Are you familiar with the brand Mr. Christmas? I have written about the brand on my site before.
Mr. Christmas makes the most amazing holiday decorations for Christmas, Halloween (Mr. Halloween) and Easter (Mr. Cottontail) and Valentines (Miss. Valentine).
The first time I saw something from Mr. Christmas was on QVC. I fell in love with the products then and there. Mr. Christmas holiday decorations come alive! They are magical!
Many people might be familiar with the classic Mr. Christmas Nostalgic Christmas Tree, pictured above.I wouldn’t be surprised if most readers already own one, or have seen one before. They are a classic decoration staple in many homes. We even have on in our home that is from Mr. Christmas.
We also own a set of Mr. Christmas blow mold candles that adorn both sides of our “fireplace” (one of those fake fireplace television stands).
Mr. Christmas is celebrating it’s 90th Anniversary this year. That is amazing! To think this marvelous brand has been around so long.
Not too long ago I received the Mr. Christmas Very Merry Carousel to review. I am over the moon in love with it. We have it turned on every day. Some days we have the music playing, other times we turn the music off and just watch the beautiful creatures and Santa go round and round. It’s one of my favorite holiday pieces.

I have another delightful holiday decoration from Mr. Christmas. This one makes me smile every time I see it. I adore it so much that I keep it on my desk so I can enjoy it every time I sit at my desk to work. It’s the Mr. Christmas Animated Santa in Chimney. The brand was kind enough to send it to me to review.
When you first look at this adorable holiday decoration you’ll see a happy Santa sticking out on top of a chimney. He has his hand up as if he’s waving “hello” to you.
When you turn this decoration on, it will start to play Christmas carols. You’ll see Santa decent into the chimney until is little legs pop out inside the fireplace. The fireplace is lit up, as well as a wreath that adorns the chimney.
Santa’s little legs will kick a bit, then he will go back up the chimney and pop out on top again. It’s so darling! It makes me smile every time I use it.
This decoration runs on 3 AA batteries (which are included). It measures 7.5″ wide x 6.4″ deep x 16″ tall.
There is a classic chimney version (red bricks), like the one I have. There is also a version where the chimney is done up in white bricks. I prefer the classic red brick version.
Check out my brief video here –
I’m sorry I couldn’t embed it into my post. YouTube made it into a “short”
There is a button you can press to play it. It’s where the yellow stick is on the front (I’m going to remove the sticker). There is also a motion activated option. With eight cats, we thought it was best not to use that option, otherwise it would go off at all hours of the night.
This is very well made, and it’s light weight. You can easily movie it around your home.
I cannot rave about this sweet holiday decoration enough. I adore it.
Mr. Christmas products are available on the brand’s website, MrChristmas.com. They can also be found at other retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Lowes and more.
Be sure to follow Mr. Christmas on social media so you can be “in the loop” when it comes to new products. What do you think of the Mr. Christmas Animated Santa in Chimney? Feel free to comment and share your thoughts. I always love to hear from readers.
