62 days and counting!

Christmas is coming! I know…It’s not even Halloween yet. But like I said before, I never did the Halloween thing anyway. Every single year, Phillip and I talk about decorating and then finally throw up our Sam’s outdoor tree at the last minute. Last year, we had an Alabama Christmas tree (Roll Tide!). It was cute. I promise. This year, we are going to buy an actual tree. Well, sort of. We are going to buy a full-sized tree. We can’t remember to water our dogs much less a tree so we’ll keep it simple. So this year, beyond the tree, we will also be putting out lights in our yard! Sounds fascinating, right? In our defense, it’s a big deal to us as we are typically the scrooges of the neighborhood. But no big blow up decorations if I can help it (Phillip’s another story on that one).

I was looking online for decorating inspiration. I am going to be having Christmas dinner at our house! Eeeekkkk! It’s Emerson’s first Christmas so it’s our first year at OUR house. I won’t know how many or who until probably that week. But we are going to be doing it right. Planning is key.

Sometimes I find that I don’t really know what I want. But I do know what I don’t want. Here’s a picture of the tree that we will NOT have.

I was thinking more Martha Stewart Christmas if at all possible. Note to self: Subscribe to Martha Stewart’s Living magazine asap.

But in the meantime…Take a look at this tree! I think its a perfectly chic and simple. Love it. *drool* (I love the wreath too! It’s too adorable!)
