That's Christmas to Me

Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  Stringing Christmas lights, wrapping presents, and cold winter nights with a cup of hot cocoa are among my favorite things about this season.  But most of all, remembering what this season is all about and celebrating the birth of our redeemer. 
 I love decorating for Christmas even though I haven't acquired many decorations in our house yet.  Here is a little peek at what Christmas looks like in our humble Texas house!


OK, so this isn't really a decoration, but I love Christmas mugs and this one is my favorite!


I prefer white lights on our Christmas tree but my husband prefers multi-colored.  (My sisters will agree when I say that the struggle with us vs. our Dad over multi-colored lights has been a long one, haha).  But last year I caved and our tree had multi-colored lights - this year I got white!


One of my favorite ornaments - the plane my husband flies.  







As you can probably tell, I love the gold & white colour combo for Christmas.  We don't yet own a full Nativity set, so we make do with this beautiful piece for now.


Most of our Christmas lights are on the outside of our house, but I kept a few inside. I am in love with our festive stairway (and remember, I am not a multi-colored lights fan!).  But something about this is so cozy and just screams "Christmas" to me.


From my family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed New Year!  


"Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the Angels sing, come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord the newborn King."
