READY SET GO... TIME TO DECORATE
I am sure many of you are Christmas addicts, love to light the candles, hang the stockings, setup the tree fill the place with Christmas decorations. I am one who loves to get the things up a little early, so I can sit and enjoy it in the evenings . The lights all aglow, the sparkle of the shiny ornaments that are so dazzling. Nothing is more special and memorable as that.
I can remember as a kid the excitement of going to get a tree at the tree lots. Later we had a large artificial one, a real pain to set up. My mom bought it , but never could manage to put it together- it was the sort with the coloured tips that you had to place into the corresponding hole.. grr such a pain.
When I moved from home i got one that you simply open up like an umbrella, such a breeze simple and easy. But one winter we did head out to the woods to cut our own tree, for my son. He was so proud when he dragged it out. His own little tree.
Yes such happy memories! And now i am living halfway around the world , and doing much the same things. Decorating , baking, making a special christmas dinner.
I started to make some natural decorations for outdoors , a pot filled with evergreens, branches some ornaments , a mini lantern to hold a candle. Then tied up some silver bows, made from coffee liners on the metal shelf. So it is starting to get the Christmassy feel.
What are some of the things you do or make to give your space that Christmassy feel?
Some simple cozy Decorating ideas to try for Christmas.

A bit of plaid goes a long way. Love this cozy rustic look, mini trees, wreath, pillow.
