Kaboom!

With Thanksgiving behind us it was time to dig out the Christmas decorations from the basement.... Which only means one thing- an EXPLOSION of Christmas is about to happen in our house.
With any kind of explosion there's going to casualties and when it comes to Christmas decor the casualty is usually my sanity.   I LOVE decorating our house for Christmas but sometimes I can go a little cuckoo-bananas-crazy about every little detail :)  I hoping I can keep things under control this year and just enjoy each little tradition of holiday decorating!  Speaking of, we will be making our annual "Griswold Style" Tree Adventure next weekend!  I can't wait to have a tree to decorate!!! Eeeeek!!!

So how about you? 

Are you starting to decorate for the holidays too?

Do you go a little nuts when it comes to decorating too?

Do you have a theme for this year's holiday decorations?  What is it?

  1. Hope you'll post pictures of your decorations! We have yet to start decorating -- got to get a tree asap!

  2. I just got my first real tree in my husband and my new home! Which also means we need tons of new Christmas decor because everything we had was hand-me-downs and only filled one small room. We've already put up lights but I want to make the home a Christmas wonderland. My husband loves Christmastime. I need ideas on dining table decor, what to put in our fireplace we can't use, and some ideas on a 25 days of Christmas countdown calendar.

    I am using golds, and sparkly reds and greens in my decor!

    1. I remember when we had to get new 'upgraded' holiday decor, I got most of ours at Target, they always have cute stuff! Once I get things decorated I can share our table and fireplace mantle. I love Christmas mantle decor!

    1. Holy cow! 2 weeks?!? You are hard core :) I will share the advent calendar too in my decor photos, it is actually something special to my mom and I :)

  4. I think I'm officially a Christmas fanatic. I counted the boxes when I took them down from the attic this year and I'm up to 27 boxes of decor. The Hubs isn't very fond of it but he is quite the trooper and helps me get them down each year and back up. I'm feeling behind this year. I usually decorate the entire weekend after Thanksgiving and I don't have anything done this year except the outside lights. I want to do a few things differently though and I'm struggling to make my concepts become reality. Hopefully I'll find what I need today at Hobby Lobby and then get busy getting it all done. I can't wait to see what you do this year.
