Dear Santa, I can explain…

It’s officially December 1… so take your advent calendars out, and let the countdown begin!

I love the holiday season and all the traditions that come along with it. Especially decorating the Christmas tree!

“The little tree that could” 

He’s not very big… or maybe I’m just a giant…

As for decorations, I like to keep my tree fairly simple with gold and silver ornaments. This year I found gold pine-cones in the bottom of my Christmas bin, so I decided to make ornament out of them by gluing rope to them. I though they turned out adorable.

I have 1 little ornament in my tree that doesn’t match the rest.  It was a gift from my parents, and it’s my favorite ornament. It symbolizes my forever love for Buzz Lightyear! Seriously though… To infinity and beyond!!

For the remainder of the night I sat and watched several family movies while cuddling my puppies on the couch and sipping on some red wine. It was a perfect night.

This weekend I will be spending my Saturday listening to Christmas music and baking with my family!

What are your favorite holiday traditions?
