The Christmas season is my favorite time of year — especially for our home. When all draped in greenery & wreathes our house feels the most quaint and cozy. Every Christmas season since we’ve been married Ty and I have either been very busy planning church services or having babies (or both!), so we typically get decorating early – usually mid-November – to get a leg up on things. I’ve always kept the decorating to the tree & the occasional garland or wreath, but this year I decided to move from room to room and add a little bit of Christmas everywhere. Now I’m hooked! I just love how our home feels with touches of greenery, dried oranges, layered ribbons & my growing collection of trees sprinkled everywhere.
I’ve collected a few Christmas decorations here and there over the past 10 years from antique stores, Target, HomeGoods, Pottery Barn, McGee & Co. and local shops. I love doing seasonal decorating this way because it keeps things from feeling too theme-y and also prevents overspending during the Christmas season. Take your time and buy a few things each year that you truly love, and over time you’ll find that you’ll have a Christmas collection that truly reflects you.
Now that December is here, I’m so looking forward to hosting family and friends, making sweet memories with our kids & living in gratitude for the hope we have beyond this life thanks to Jesus’ birth. I hope you’re able to do the same this Christmas. On that note, welcome into our home!
