Good afternoon, my beautiful creatives!

I am dreaming of Christmas in my new house. We are not there yet. We actually do not move in until December 1st.

In my world, we put up our Christmas decorations on November first. My hubby and I have made this one of our favorite Christmas traditions since the year my mom died, which was in 1999. He kept playing the song, “We Need A Little Christmas”, and we did, we really REALLY needed it.

So a Christmas tradition was born.

I know that November, 1st is technically early, but do you know how much work it takes to decorate everything beautifully??? And since my hubby and I are usually out of town for the actual Christmas holiday, we try to enjoy evenings with the twinkle of Christmas lights sparkling off of shining ornaments for as long as we can.

This year, however, since we are moving, and more specifically, moving on December 1st, we are not doing that this year. Right now, as I sit here typing this, I am thinking that our very first thing going up, in our new house, will be our Christmas tree. I won’t care if I haven’t yet found our toothbrushes, or drinking glasses. Those are just minor details compared to the ambiance and radiance that a Christmas tree brings to our home.

Even though I am so excited about our move, I am a little bit sad that I cannot decorate as early as I want to, and because of that I thought I would share some of my FAVORITE Christmas Instagram pics that I have discovered! This is just going to have to do it’s magic little best to tide me over to the day that I too will be able to share a pic of our Christmas home!!
