Well, to be honest, it has been looking like Christmas at my house since Thanksgiving. I just really, really love decorating for Christmas. There is just something about the lights, the candles, the fireplace, the trees, and the ornaments that make me so happy. This year, due to space issues, I decided to purchase a 7 foot pencil tree for the living room. It was the perfect size and showcased my Lenox ornaments and those special ornaments that make you reflect on past Christmases and tell a story of your life through the years. It was so perfect that I just had to go and buy another one for the bedroom! Since we have a barn door in the bedroom, I decorated the bedroom and bathroom with more traditional colors and theme, focusing on the warmth and coziness of buffalo plaid. I blended new decor with old sentimental pieces, some of which were my mom’s and grandmothers, which brought back such wonderful memories and gives me the feeling that somehow we are still connected by remembering them at this special time of year.. I hope that you can spend time with family and friends and find the joy and love in the simplest things that will warm your heart and soul through this time of year and create memories that you will cherish forever. Merry Christmas.
