Christmas Decor

Here is a look at how we "deck the halls" at our apartment - I love the transformation that takes place when Christmas comes each year, and lights and greenery remind us of beauty and charm and the magic that comes with thinking beyond oneself.  We know that Christmas is about much more than decorations - it is about the hope and life and love that was brought to the world through the birth of Christ. We enjoy having some beautiful things to remind us of that - especially the homemade variety of decor - we hope you enjoy our creations!
Our Christmas "wreath" - made from branches we cut off our Christmas tree

Christmas flower arrangement of sorts - it is red and green, right? So it works :)

I love our Christmas tree! Especially the way it complements the wood of our table and chairs...:)

This is our countdown to Christmas board - (only 17 days from now!)

Greg and I love this beautiful nativity from Germany - when you light the candles, the top spins! We want to save the candles for special occasions, so for now we enjoy seeing the top spin whenever the heat comes on and blows air right over it :)

Snowflakes!

And paper chains and a christmas light bedecked desk round out our Christmas decor. Merry Christmas to you!

Those are great decorations! I really like the one on the door. I see on your chalkboard that you also feature a "hymn of the day." How does that work?

I always laugh when I stumble upon a blog of yours. Isn't this your 4th one?? :) Haha but it is so fun to read these. Love you.
