It’s a yearly tradition for me to post my Christmas/Hanukkah decor here, but I don’t really have a lot of new items. The menorah is the same (and I have candles this year! Thanks, Bammy!), the red and gold ornaments in hurricane vases are the same, the DIY wreath is the same. I do have a couple new items, though (courtesy of my mom — aren’t moms the best?) and here they are.
Okay, so this is not from my mom — oh wait, the bud vase for the champagne IS from my mom — but I just wanted to highlight the fact that we also strung blue lights on the tree this year. Living dangerously, obvs.
Staircase strung with garland. This isn’t enough. I want to garland MY WHOLE HOUSE.
Pretty pretty sparkly garland hung in front of the fireplace. Please disregard AT&T bill awaiting its death by arson.
Here’s a closeup of a couple of the hangy doo-dads on the garland. See? Pretty pretty sparkly!
So that’s what I’ve got so far this year. As for the tree, it’s been less than 12 hours and LG has already commandeered the bottom half. I am smart, so I put non-breakable ornaments on the bottom, but she keeps trying to drag the lights off. It should be a fun few weeks!
(She did find an ornament she “made” last year at daycare. It has her school picture on it and she keeps taking it of the tree and showing it to us saying, “Baby!”, which is very cute.)
Baby! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. The cuteness!
Also: Bammy and her brisket recipe need to make an appearance around these parts soon. Do you like how I’m just stalking you for recipes these days? You’re welcome. 🙂
