If I’m to be honest, it’s been a bit harder this year to really get into the Christmas spirit. BUT seeing as it was my dad’s favorite holiday, there is just no way I could pass up on putting out pretty things this year.
So without further adieu…
1. The birdcage which sits in our entry way. I wanted a little tree to put inside so imagine my delight when I found one that was red, white, annnndd pink! 2. Need I say more? It’s the second one to the collection and I promise you there will be many more… 3. My ‘Winter Wish’ star I found in Chicago. It now adorns my ‘favorite things’ bookshelf. 4. The chandelier from Leah’s wedding that took me ummm…forever and another ever to hand bead. I dare say Brady will find many excuses NOT to hang it, but I’m perfectly happy just loving it as is. 5. My annual ornament from when I was two…my absolute favorite-est one. 6. I’m a candy cane lover hence the incredibly large candy jar full of red and white stripes. 7. Michael’s favorite ornaments…and I quote, “These are my favorite because they have the most beautiful colors.” 8. My feather tree which sparkles in my office. 9. My Santa. My vintage Santa that I love so much and means more to me than anything. It speaks volumes of my Christmas this year. His name tag says, “Karoly, A Christmas Spirit”. I can think of nothing more fitting.
..and in a state where there are inches of snow on the ground, a temperature of a ‘balmy’ 30 degrees, and a severe lack of sunshine…thank goodness for Christmas bling I say.
