IT'S ON!

Christmas. 
Are you like me and today, the day after Thanksgiving, is the day you get busy with Christmas decorating?  All of the boxes have been brought in from the storage closet and down from the attic, so it's on!  I've been looking for some new inspiration for decorating this year and found some great ideas...take a peek at these!


I love this one.  A tray, glass container, ornaments & some snow...so simple!  Oh, and some ribbon too!




Such sparkle!  A bowl, candles, silver garland and ornaments = beautiful!


Isn't this sweet!  Decorating for Christmas doesn't have to be expensive!

 So cute...just goes to show that anything goes!  Go ahead, light up a bicycle!

Decorating for Christmas will keep us very busy and is a lot of fun, but it can also be stressful!
Today, as I begin this busy day of decorating, I will be mindful of the true meaning of this beautiful season.  Remembering that it isn't about fresh cut Christmas trees, sparkly ornaments, and reindeer...though each of these is ours to enjoy! Christmas is the time to remember and celebrate the miraculous birth of the babe in a manger, who was born to give us life and to be thankful for how very blessed we are!

So sweet friend...is today your "it's on" day?  Love your comments, they make my day!

  4. Beautiful pictures Cindy! I usually decorate today, but with both kids away at college and coming home next week, I think I'll wait this year. It's strange to change my ways. :)

    Happy Decorating!

  7. If those beautiful pictures don't get you in the mood to decorate, I doubt anything will. The picture of the all white tree is stunning. I'll look forward to see how your decorating plans are going.

  9. My mantel is decorated and the outdoor lights are up. We started last weekend, then I had to stop to begin cooking for Thanksgiving. I'll resume tomorrow. Those were some great inspirational photos.

  11. Oh, Cindy...those little seedings on the shelf just captured my heart. They're so Nordic looking. I've got my decor all up and am loving the simple, natural look I went with this year. I'll be doing a house tour in upcoming posts so you can take a peek! :)

  20. I love the "framed" ornament...such a cute idea.
    You're right Cindy. Christmas is really the time to remember the Gift that God gave us and why He gave it.
