simple Christmas decor

Christmas around our house is just plain simple. I don't know how we have four totes full of Christmas decorations because every year when I pull it out and spread it around our home, it sure doesn't seem like we have that much. But I like it that way. My hope is that it feels reverent and calm, but also a place where I can tell that kids live here. (though I do think the noise and the toys scattered across the house are a pretty strong indication that there are kids here! and that's probably why I try to decorate the way I do)








One of my favorites this year was the advent we hung up. Just white bags with adorable teeny Christmas tree clothespins. And inside each bag was a piece of the nativity scene that I sewed together last year. (got the idea from one of my favorite blogs)
And my favorite way to enjoy our home at Christmas time is all cuddled together on the couch with the Christmas lights on and a Christmas movie playing. Just can't beat it.
