Happy December!

I love December! Of course it's because of Christmas. It's my favorite holiday for many reasons. I love the beautiful decorations and all the festivities. I love the music and the family time. People in the world are usually nicer and happier. I really enjoy the Christmas movies and treats (hot chocolate, cider, egg nog, pies, goodie plates, etc). I especially love the focus on Jesus Christ and his wonderful entry into the world. I love that so many people are focusing on Him at the same time; it seems to make the world a better place for a little while.

Here are our favorite Christmas decorations. First, the "tree." We haven't gotten a real tree since coming to California because we always go home to Arizona and don't feel like spending $70 on a tree that we won't really have time to enjoy. I decided to decorate my plant stand this year. I personally love the way it turned out, even if it is a bit untraditional!


We also love our Christmas Village. Malcom has always wanted one of these, so I picked up a few pieces last year at 50% off at an after-Christmas sale. We hope to add more each year.


We hope your Christmas is beutiful and blessed as well.
