Yay!!  It is officially the Christmas season!  This is by far my favorite holiday and this year I’ve changed up my decor, yet again.  It started with a few boxes of vintage ornaments I found at an antique mall and grew from there.

I love the worn colors of the ornaments and the nostalgia.  I wanted to call this years theme, A Vintage Christmas, but Scott claims “vintage” is way over used.  He’s probably right! We actually have a little joke that when I say the word “vintage” he says “awesome!”  He says it’s basically the same thing…not sure I agree with that one?  And so, that’s were the title came from.  {You’re now in on our joke!}

Some of you might remember the words on the tree. I made them a few years ago, and I like adding the graphic element.  One of the reasons I love blogging so much, is it keeps a record for me.  It’s fun to look back and see how my style has changed.  {Click here and here to see the past two years.  I almost didn’t include these links because I’m a little embarrassed at my photography skills.  I thought you could have a look at how that has grown too. 🙂 }

After I had finished decorating the tree, I realized that the wall behind it was seriously lacking.  I decided to move my old ladder and hang our stockings on it for some added interest.

 And what’s a tree without presents?  My oldest daughter got excited to see the presents under the tree, only to be disappointing that they were decoys. 😉
