You surely can. You are welcome in the winter as well as the summer. My sister gets the guest bed the week before and the week after Christmas however.
Just bring along some chocolate and you will be more than welcome.
I have collections of many different sorts. Several of them are angels, bears, cats, Santa's, bells and many antique items, both large and small. I don't have enough display space for all of my "treasures" so I rotate them so that things seldom stay the same in my decorating schemes. When i get my Christmas stuff down from the attic, I just choose the boxes and bins that I will use each time on current whims. Therefore, nothing is ever the same when I combine what I bring down. Since I never remember what is in the bins, some things only make it to the decorating stage occasionally rather than every year. Here are a few of the combinations I have used this year.
This old bread board and wooden bowl seemed to need some color so i combined them with the wooden apples and put a couple of my snow people there to add a touch of lightness.

I liked the rustic look of this Santa and placed him with a candle and a rustic looking raffia bow Click to see full size image

This Santa seemed to fit nicely with this tin tree. Click to see full size image This Santa is holding some greenery that I matched by using the reindeer made of the same material. Click to see full size image
This large one graces the top of my large library table.

I placed him on a trivet and surrounded him with silk greenery. He sits in the center of my antique ice dream parlor table. Click to see full size image
This old woven pine needle basket holds white flowers that tie in with the white clothing of the angel. I found the stars at a yard sale this past summer and liked them with this angel. The collection sits on the marble top of an antique dresser.

These charming corn shuck angels were made and given to me by my dear friend Melody and they get to stay out on display the year round. Click to see full size image

This nativity scene got a new home in a container that I have had for over 40 years, When it was new it was filled with dirt and an assortment of small plants and little figures. It went to the attic many years ago. I decided to resurrect it and brought it down several days ago. The camel in the scene is from the Holy Land and was given to me by my mother over 50 years ago.
