This is such a hectic time of year and I find that I am often scrambling to get everything done. I have a bad habit of committing to do more than I really should. I just have such a hard time passing up holiday fun!
I have several different groups of friends and each wanted to do some sort of holiday get together. I am certainly not going to miss out on the fun! I make a point to get my ducks in a row so I can meet up. I was talked into hosting a cookie exchange this year so I have a little more on my plate this week.
Of course I really don’t mind. After all, I work so hard to decorate my home for the holidays, I love to show it off! I have been collecting holiday decorations for over 20 years and I look forward to pulling them out. Once Thanksgiving is over, I pack up the fall decor and the Christmas items come out. I like to get it up early so I can enjoy it as long as possible.
My Christmas tree is filled with tons of homemade ornaments that the boys have made as well as dozens of ornaments that I have received as gifts. I also purchase a new ornament every year. Often it’s a memento from a vacation or an ornament that has some sentimental meaning. When we moved to our home here in Chattanooga we purchased an artificial tree. It was a difficult change for me as I had always had a real tree. After a fall that resulted in many broken ornaments, my husband convinced me that it would be more cost effective to go with an artificial tree. I love my tree and know that my ornaments are now safe. Plus, I still get the scent that I love. I simply place a Glade® Timeless Joy™ PlugIns® Scented Oil right beside the tree and I get the woodsy notes of green pine needle and spruce without the mess!

We put up the tree and put lights everywhere.
I spread holiday cheer by spending special time with each one of my family members. I bake cookies with my nephew, great nephew and great niece. I watch holiday movies with my husband and kids.

My husband decorates our front yard with lights and decorations that we have been collecting since our first Christmas as parents in 1996. I decorate the interior with homemade Christmas decorations and crafts my kids have made over the years. Our tree is decorated with homemade and purchased ornaments. I love playing Christmas Music from Pandora while cleaning and cooking. It’s a very special time for us.
Candles, although these days some of them are the flameless kind on timers. I have them everywhere in various holiday scents. Also candies, whether they were a gift or some O made I have tins of goodies everywhere too.
I really don’t do anything to my house during the holidays. I make sure it’s clean and smells nice but that’s about it.
We enjoy baking cookies on Christmas Eve and leaving a few out for Santa Claus along with a glass of milk and carrots for the reindeer. Once we settle down for the evening we leave only the Christmas lights and a delicious smelling candle lit while watching “It’s a Wonderful Life.” We also get to open one gift each from under the tree. It’s funny that we still do this because our three daughters are all adults. Love the precious memories.
