I don't know about you, but I just love Christmas. Every year I am so excited to get out the decorations, put up the tree, listen to the Christmas music constantly on the radio, and I even love the hustle and bustle of shopping. Bill thinks it is crazy how energized and excited I get by shopping for presents. :) Wrapping them is just as fun. I love to think about each person and what wrapping paper "fits" them the very best. I think my favorite tradition is making and decorating all of the yummy Christmas cookies.
Anyway, here is a little tour of our decorations this year. A friend of mine is doing a Christmas decorations tour on her blog. Be sure to check it out. My decorations certainly aren't as grand as they have been in the past because of a certain very active toddler who loves to grab and throw!
We start with the tree of course. All silver and gold ornaments, except for two or three special keepsake ones.
This tree skirt is new this year. I love the combination of silk, velvet, and stylized reindeer. We won't put out the presents till Christmas eve.
Our stockings. My Mom makes everyone in the family one--including the dog. :)
Note how the TOP of the desk is decorated--way out of grabbing range.
I love snowmen.

very pretty tree skirt! And I do the same thing with wrapping paper-- coordinating is part of the gift, huh? ~L
Wow. That is all I can say about those cookies. Wow.
