A brief glimpse

I’m pretty traditional when it comes to Christmas colors. Red and Green. And lately, lots of white. I’m loving everyone else’s colorful Christmas decor… but the reds and greens are just too cozy for the freezing holiday weather.

So. There’s the tree. And since we have no mantle yet, I was stumped about what to do for our stockings. Well, I was stumped for about a minute. Then I came up with the solution. And when I have time to MAKE the solution this weekend, you’ll be the first to know! :)

    I love traditional Christmas trees. I can’t wait to see how you work around the “no mantle” issue since I have no mantle either! I’ve been debating hanging the stockings from our coat hooks, but it’s just so boring!

    We must have similar traditional taste because our trees look alike. I love your tree skirt, did you stitch it?

    Hi!
    We do have the same ornaments, gotta love target. :) I am going to try and nab some more after Christmas, I try to avoid crowds though… so chances are all the good stuff is gone by the time I get there! :)
    Your tree is gorgeous though.
