I love the glow of Christmas tree lights. And every year we hang our own Christmas star. This will be the twelfth year. It makes me happy.
And I always do the same thing in our kitchen area – hang my mossy wreaths.
Do you tend to do the same thing over and over, or do you mix it up every year?
Keep it the same. Love seeing it that way every year.
I generally do the same color theme on my tree – mostly burgundy, deep reds and gold because I’ve collected my ornaments over the last few years in these colors. But I do love to sneak in really fun, wacky ornaments from each vacation – a ram from the Grand Canyon, dice and cards from Vegas, glitter sand dollar from the Bahamas, a cable car from San Fran. I so love the memories from each trip when I take them out of the boxes!
I can totally picture it. Sounds gorgeous, Karen. I love the memories from ornaments. Our first year together, Bert and I had just two ornaments. We get each other one each year. I’m down with the wacky ones, too. Except that one year he got me a Dale Jarret UPS one. Nothing against Dale, but the ornament — HORRIBLE. I try to hide it in the box and if he sees it and puts it on the tree…I totally move it to the back.
Beautiful!! Love how you’ve decorated!!
Thanks. I was just checking out pictures of your sweet boy! He’s precious, and I LOVE the name Henry. Excellent name. Love the classic names.
