And since I am not hosting a SINGLE event at my home for the next month, I decided to make do with my Christmas decor and not buy any new stuff this year. Minimal decor compared to years in the past, but I thought I would share some of the things I did. Almost like you came into my home during Christmas time (although you are more than welcome to come visit). That disclaimer was for all those that point out that I like to use them all the time. :-)





We did get a fresh tree at Houston Garden Center for $35. Awesome price for an 8 foot tree. And notice all but one of Justin's Santa photos are displayed this year - even the ones of him crying last year. Maybe this year will be better. I just sent out the majority of our Christmas cards. Still working on a few addresses. So glad that I can mark that off the list. Hope everyone remembers that it is because of our Lord and Savior that we have the privilege to celebrate Christmas.
