My Christmas Bells are Ringing.

So, it dawned on me the other day why the decorations were up so early this year, there are Christmas presents wrapped under the tree (ALREADY!), and I am feeling on top of things....because for the first time in 5 years I am not in finals-hell right before the Holidays! Life is SOOOOO good after grad school.

Well, I thought I would share a few images of my decorations...in particular our adorable tree that I am falling in love with every night as we sit by it in our cozy living room listening to Charlie Brown's Christmas.


We got our tree (for FREE!!!) from a friend who was cutting down trees, responsibly of course, in his yard. I love that the branches are separated, which highlights our few and special ornaments.

I also bought a bunch of pine cones this year as decoration...subtle, natural...and I just love them!!! Oh, and as you maybe able to see...I won the newly-wed war! I achieved my mono-chrome, classy tree with silver and white ornaments.

Hoping all of your holiday seasons are off to a great start. Peace and much love from our home to yours!
