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)
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.
