Christmas Traditions: Decorate Me

I started making a list of the 25 traditions that make Christmas mean so much to me - what gets me so excited about this one magical month. Some old, some new, here begins my 25.

A decoration here and a decoration there...



{little smokers from Germany}


{love letter ornaments}


{snuggling pillows}

I love the turkey so you won't see one decoration peep out before Thanksgiving Day has come to a close. By Friday the totes are down from the attic, and the decorations are finding their new home around the house. Christmas decorations make our house feel all the more cozy. I'm always on the hunt for a neat new decoration to add to the mix. With Christmas being such a presence in Germany, I had the best time scouring holiday shops to find unique ornaments and such. My favorite find was that cute pair of whimsy smokers above.
