I LOVE Christmas, who really doesn't! I love REAL Christmas trees, the fake ones don't smell good, and are just as much of a pain to put together than a real one, so unless your allergic your just crazy for getting a fake one! I love lights up and down neighborhood streets. Every turn is a winter wonderland. I love listening to 94.9 to listen to the Christmas music all day long, it cheers me up so much! Sorry if I sound too cheesy or a big loser but at least you don't have to deal with my obsession of Christmas like my husband does. Ask him about it and you'll never hear the end of his complaints about me, sorry sammie! It's a tradition that Sam and I started to get a Christmas tree the day after thanksgiving and decorate the house. Well if you don't know we are still living with my in-laws (soon hoping to move out but we are saving a lot of money). It's not a bad setup but we were a little cramped with everything in a 650 square foot apartment basically! So before we decorated we also rearranged the house and threw out some old furniture! Here are some pictures of our newly decorated house!

This was my mom and dad's Nativity scene that I have grown up with and she handed it down to me when her mom passed away and she inherited the really nice nativity scene from her!

We don't have a star for the tree because we lost it somewhere when we moved but we will get that soon! Another tradition we do is each year we buy an ornament I just need to add the years onto them so we will remember! That's why you might see a random red ornament in there, it's one we got last year!

This is another decoration I have grown up with that was handmade by really good friends of my family, ted and penny Johnson. The little drummers play songs by hitting the bells next to them! All the nieces and nephews love it.

I have been wanting floating shelves for so long but I thought my mother in-law wouldn't like me to put big holes all over her walls but she said go for it and she absolutely loves them!
