Can't delay it no more...Christmas came knocking on our door! When you have kids in the family and a husband who loves celebrations and hosting family and friends, you get all the pressure of keeping your home spic and span and in sync with the season. (Not that I'm complaining...it's my joy to give my family a beautiful home.) And of course, Christmas is the biggest, grandest of them all! It took hours and hours to finish decorating the house and setting up the tree, but it's all worth it! Come take a look...
As you enter our house, you will be greeted by this nativity set on our console. Christmas won't be complete without it, right?
In my previous post, you will remember that I said I was leaning on a silvery, glittery Xmas decor. Well..it did not happen. I got inspired of a family dinner we hosted few weeks back. I prepped our table using jewel-toned linens, plates and candle holders. And since then, I started to dream of sapphires, rubies, emeralds, tiger's eye, lapis, amethyst and topaz!
That's why the silver, glass and white were forgotten and replaced by the very rich tones of jewels! And everyone's happy with it.
There are more Christmas vignettes around the house and I shall share them with you soon. For the meantime, enjoy your weekend and I wish you all the joy as you start making your home Christmas-sy over the weekend (if you haven't done so!). As for my family, we are looking forward to the first Sunday of Advent. Two more sleeps and we will be making our traditional family Advent wreath!
I would love to hear your thoughts.
