Christmas!

I should totally be cleaning up the kitchen after our scruptious dinner (if I do say so myself...homemade chicken pot pie from scratch..mmm) but I couldn't wait to show everyone our Christmas decor we put up a couple days ago.

I love Christmas. And this year I feel an urge to really make this year special. Special because of what we believe we are celebrating: His Birth. Our Savior is Born! How awesome is that?


So if you came to visit us (which we hope you do some time soon), you would first see the wreath I made the other day.




Then as you walked in to our apartment you might see our dining table.




From there I'd have you follow me into the kitchen so I could fix us some hot chocolates. Check out the red rug. Nana made us that as a wedding gift and we just got it into our apartment after it was sadly left behind on our last trip home. It's so beautiful!





Once we had our drinks in hand I'd invite you to take a load off on our cozy little couch. Maybe you'll want to hug one of the Christmas pillows.



As we chatted on the couch we could admire the Christmas tree. My favorite part!




That is our lovely tree that I put together from multiple thrift stores, the dollar store and a tree my dad gave us. I also didn't find a tree skirt I liked so I used a table cloth. Should I not be telling all my secrets? I just have this incredible thrifty yet amazing decorating legacy to uphold. I'm working on it.

Ok the dishes are calling.

Merry Christmas!

  4. Oh no! I thought I had published a comment on this post already, but it looks like it didn't turn up! I'll try again:

    I love your Christmas wreath! And I'm so impressed that you decorated--we did not get that far this year. The extent of our Christmas decor consists of cinnamon scented pinecones in a few conspicuous places around the apartment. They smell lovely--highly recommend them (Winco special!)--though your sensitive husband probably wouldn't take too kindly to them.
