We’ve settled in for a couple of days relaxation and celebration right here in our residence in California. This yr I adorned with a flocked tree like I used to do a few years in the past. I wished to create a comfortable winter wonderland feeling in our lounge so I used clippings from the bottom of the tree on the mantel and layered the house in shades of inexperienced and gold.
I enhance the tree very merely earlier than Christmas, then on Christmas Eve (tonight!) subsequent to a crackling hearth with music taking part in we cling the normal household ornaments, those which have all of the reminiscences, it’s the factor that makes Christmas Eve in our home particular since presents aren’t opened till Christmas Day.
I didn’t purchase any new decorations this yr aside from the gold metallic leaf wreath I held on the mirror. All the things else I’ve owned for years just like the quilted stockings, ceramic reindeer, and gold candlestick holders.
I’m a giant believer in mixing shiny or sparkly decor with pure components, particularly evergreens that final like eucalyptus, boxwood, and olive department clippings.
Thanks a lot to everybody who visits the weblog, I’m so grateful to you and need you a calming and pleasing vacation!
Wishing everybody a really Merry Christmas with associates and family members!
