We\u2019ve been busy, busy trying to finish up with the Christmas decorating around here!\u00a0 This year the theme is \u201csimplicity\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a crazy year with my mom\u2019s illness, so simple is just what \u201cthis doctor\u201d ordered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The thing I did that\u2019s the most unlike me is I didn\u2019t put any ornaments on our Christmas tree.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love our ornaments!\u00a0 Each one truly has a story and a memory attached, and unwrapping each one is something I usually look forward to each December.\u00a0 But, along with the nostalgia comes a good deal of work, taking a couple of days to decorate the tree.\u00a0 So with some convincing from my husband I made the decision to leave those treasures packed away. I came across the \u201cpeace\u201d banner<\/a> I made last year and decided it may like to live on the tree!\u00a0 It looked a little lonely, so I quickly made a \u201cjoy\u201d and a \u201clove\u201d banner, simply painting the letters onto burlap and adding to twine! Now the three are hanging out together on our silver tip Christmas tree.\u00a0 I\u2019m lovin\u2019 the simplicity!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

All of the greenery came from my yard with the exception of a piece of live garland from Costco and a piece over the chalkboard in the kitchen.\u00a0 Pinecones are everywhere around our house now, so I used lots of those. The nandina bushes are loaded with beautiful clusters of red berries and really add a nice pop of color here, there, and everywhere!\u00a0 Don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do without the pinetrees and magnolia.\u00a0 Both go a loooong way!\u00a0 Again, simplicity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So as you can see nothing too fancy, just simple, and the best thing is the clean-up won\u2019t be too bad!\u00a0 I may add a few more things, and if any of it turns out great I may share some pics on my Homejoy facebook page!\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t checked it out this would be the perfect time! https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/homejoyblog<\/a><\/p>\n

Truly wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!\u00a0 ~Debbie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
