Tis the Season

(This is my homemade $5 wreath- no glue, no mess- simplicity at its best!)

Christmas time is here and I love it! Here is a list of my Christmas time favorites:

Putting up decorations. I wish I could leave them up all year. They bring such character and warmth into the house.

The excuse to shop and spend money to buy gifts for everyone on "my list".

Hot Cocoa

Christmas Music

Driving around with my little family looking at Christmas lights.

Stockings. When I was a kid, looking through all the little goodies in my stocking was more exciting for me than the bigger gifts.

Bostyn's fancy Christmas dress. There are only a few occasions when wearing a poofy, shiny dress is acceptable. I think we should take advantage of them all!

Christ's birth. Although we should ALWAYS be focused on Christ in our lives, it's nice to have a holiday that centers on His birth. It is such a wonderful story that even children love to hear.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you!

You know I am on board with everything you said. I always like the excuse to wear the over the top dress even though I shouldn't!

That's a very fancy wreath for $5 and no fuss. I wish I was more crafty like that, I'm just not.
