When I was little trimming the tree was always special. Every ornament had a story behind it that held a happy memory from a Christmas before. My mom made a point of carefully handing each one to my brother and I, instructing us to find the perfect spot on the tree. It took hours to complete, and I loved it almost as much as Christmas morning.
Now that I have my own home to decorate, I've held on to how special each decoration can be. Slowly layering on new pieces each year, carefully selecting each one. I find I often take my time when it comes to decorating, but am always happy with the result, even if it takes a little longer to complete!

Paperwhites! I have those growing in moss and I love them!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! And I love your selection of books. I recognize quite a few that I also have. =)
ReplyDeleteI love it! As you saw yesterday I haven't decorated at all, and it seems seriously lacking in holiday spirit compared to your place! I need to do something about it!
