Man, did the holidays sneak up on us, or what? I know I say this every year but the time just moves faster as we get older. I know this isn’t fact but man it sure feels like it.
Our Christmas décor mainly stays the same each year except for a new ornament each year. This year our new ornaments were a nutcracker and one that Sean picked up in Texas earlier this year while he was on a work trip. We normally just do one new ornament a year (usually from somewhere we traveled) but two is better, ha. We do try to do a new color schemed tree each year which is pretty fun to me. In 2014, Cinthia, Margaret and I went ornament shopping after the holidays and got tons of different colored ornaments for so cheap. So cheap that it almost felt like we stole it. I assure you that we did not. Anyway, because of this, Sean and I have been able to have a different color schemed tree ever since and it has been awesome to think up a new color scheme each year. We still always put our yearly ornaments on the tree regardless of the color scheme.
We also picked up stocking holders this year after years of trying to get those useless command strips to work for us. Not sure why we hadn’t thought to do this until this year but it will save us time and money so better late than never. And for the first time celebrating Christmas in this house, our stockings have not fallen and we are able to actually stuff items in it; win, win!
Your home is always so gorgeous! Every year your Christmas decorations look beautiful. I didn't even KNOW they made stocking holders.. I have a couple stockings, but didn't put them out, because I had no clue how to hang them without a bunch of scotch tape.
ReplyDeleteOur decorations were noting to write home about (it rarely ever is). I wasn't going to do it at all, but Dominic had a fit ;) So I compromised and got out the small tree. I let the kids pick out an ornament each year too.. (well Dom has been picking out Samuels until next Christmas).
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Aww, Emily thank you so much! Hahaha, they do! Now would be a great time to pick up some since they'll be marked down so low. Aww, Dominic, how cute is he! I'm glad he was able to have a tree. A new ornament each year is such a fun tradition. Thank you, I did. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well!
