Decorating for Christmas

Xmas decor1

This year's Christmas decorations are pretty much identical to last years with the exception of a few additions. Namely a couple Santas, some Christmas-y faux foliage, and my favorite addition would probably be the trio of mercury glass votives I picked up at Target.

Otherwise, since all the ornaments were just brand new last year I'm planning on keeping them in rotation for several Christmases to come. We've got mercury glass, gold, silver, and pops of red. I'm still liking this color scheme very much.

That's all we've got for now...fairly simple yet still festive. I would still like to get a bit crafty and make a couple Christmas crafts. I'd love to make some stockings for Matt, me, and Baby Girl on the way and maybe some Christmas-y bunting/garlands. Hopefully I find the time to do that! I still need to get my Christmas shopping done. I started out strong and knocked out several gifts, but now I'm at a standstill. How are you on your Christmas To Do Lists?

  3. Your decorations are so classy & sophisticate but still homey-feeling. Love it! Half my basement is full of Christmas decorations and I have no room for even a small tree in my tiny apartment...I can't wait to be able to decorate again!
