Haven't done much in the way of Christmas decorating yet. I'm getting lots of inspiration from all of my favorite blogs though. So far all I've done is plant some paperwhites, put a few wreaths on some doors, and put this box of ornaments out in the middle of the coffee table in the living room. I'm just going to keep them there in their box, just like that for now. I haven't decided if I'm going for color or a low-color theme this year...?

Well, you are off to a good start Zita!
Just let things happen as they will!
I have to say...that box of vintage balls is cheery and festive! I bet the kids love that!
Gee, it's Molly's first Christmas!
Have fun!

I love old ornaments like that, and the boxes too.I haven't done much decorating myself, maybe tomorrow. I think maybe I'll start by getting out some of my old ornaments.

I have tons of those old ornaments, I never use them, but I can't bare to get rid of them! I'm sure whatever you do for your decorating will be over the top! Can't wait to see!

Your already ahead of me - I haven't done a thing yet (just finished up my Silver Bella projects - so now I can mentally "move on"). Hopefully the tree goes up tomorrow, then I have to decide if the Golden can handle living with the vintage ornaments, or should I hold off with them one more year......

I will not start until the 8th, just a tradition I follow every year, and I can't wait to find my vintage ornaments...my good old friends!

Well Zita, I know whatever you do, it will be beautiful. I love that we all do it so differently from year to year. I decorate so opposite of how I decorated when I had small children...and I loved then, and I love now. Isn't it great that we get to do this every year? it lets us try so many things.
Thank you so much for coming by with your sweet words.
hugs

I haven't even started...but then I don't decorate much. Just a string of cards to cheer the place up!
