    Yes! I’m ready to bring on all the Christmas glory! The older I get, the more I long for simplicity in my Christmas decor. But I also remember how fun it was as a kid when my mom went all out with decorations., and I want to do that for my girls. Working on finding a balance between the two ?

    If you find a great tabletop tree, please share the source! I have the same pin in mind for my own little tree but haven’t found anything great locally, and I’m afraid to order a flocked tree online.

    I’m on the hunt for some new stockings this year, too. Let us know if you find any good ones ;) Loved all these ideas!

    I love the picture of the lush garland. One year I went all out with fresh greens. I told myself this was perfect because after the holiday, I could just throw them out instead of having to pack them up.
    What I ended up creating was a huge house fire just waiting to happen. They got so dried out! And what a mess gathering them up for the garbage bags.
    I learned a valuable lesson that year. Life in a magazine photo is not the same as real life.

      They do dry out so quickly! But, they’re really nice for those couple of weeks :)

    SO ready! Especially since we will be gone for much of November so confession – the “Christmas closet” was opened this morning, I’m already putting a few things out to greet us when we return so I’m not playing catch up and instead can ENJOY the season! Loved this inspiration today!

    I have looked at replacing our hodgepodge of stockings for years! Funny, now that my boys are 20 and 16 I just can’t bring myself to get rid of their old hand made stockings because of the memories they bring. Sometimes those not-so-perfect decorations are what make a house feel like home.

    I love the lighted garland! I added that to our Christmas decor on the double door in our family room about two years ago. Really added to the space. You should definitely do it!

    I absolutely love every single idea you posted….now how to incorporate them into a house filled with moving boxes!?!? (We move November 25th and it will kill me to be unpacking instead of putting up trees/garlands/decorations, etc. the weekend after Thanksgiving!!)
