A Little Bit of Christmas

December 10, 2020 by christen | 3 Comments

Hi Friends. Did you all decorate early this year? Did you decorate much at all? I did a bit in the hopes of trying to cheer up our 2020.

I was so excited to get my silver-dipped branches. I think I order 15 packs! But, I wanted a large statement at the door. Here’s a great resource for crafts and inexpensive decor – Save-on-Crafts.

You may remember the nutcrackers that I bought at Michaels last year and spray painted white. I still they work anywhere. Love them.

I found the wreaths and red candles at Magnolia’s Hearth and Hand line at Target.

You will see that my tree decor is, well, it’s all about the kids. I decided years ago that I’m not going to try to make it stately or perfect. I want my kids to put up all their memories and we love it that way. We try to get a few ornaments each year that remind us of that year. This means, nothing matches! Ha!

Wishing you all a beautiful and safe holiday! Thank you for all your support. Love you to you all! xo

    I’m like you in that I don’t try to make a perfect looking tree. I put on all the ornaments that I love, including ones my boys made when they were little, and my tree ends up being beautiful every year! Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy holiday!

    Yeah I know how this might sound. Say it’s from one to another: You are a highly evolved and autonomous individual. In re using your family ornaments (gasp) rather than giving in to the trends and photos and much-of-a-muchness. Gosh I loved seeing your old green books on the table, with your other decorations. Beloved books! Beautiful fun all around. Thank you for sharing.
