As some of you who follow me on Instagram, I started decorating in the first week of November. After Halloween, I just couldn't wait and wanted to do it as soon as possible. If you read my previous post, it was one of those piling things on my to do list during the holidays. Adam was very hesitant about me decorating early. He kept saying no until finally after asking everyday, he gave in hehe. AND this year was my year for picking colors/theme.
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays- as it should be for all! As a child in the Philippines, I remember I couldn't wait until it came. I remember us kids would spend the day napping while mom, aunts, and uncles got everything ready and then wake us up when it was time. I loved it all, from the food to decorations and the best part FIREWORKS. The whole street would be involved in it somehow. Think of it as a pregame for New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, no one here in the U.S. celebrates it like that.
Below are photos of how I decorated my living room and dining table this year. If you have yet to decorate or still decorating- you can get all these locally! First stop was at Target, everything they had was almost gone or was yet to be stocked so no luck there. They didn't event have stocking with our letters on them. Next was TJ Maxx. I wanted to do mostly silver this year and they also didn't have a lot for me, just a couple of brush trees. I bought most of this stuff at Walmart, or Amazon Prime. Sometimes I get too anxious and cant wait for a delivery so I will just go to the store and just get it myself. I wanted to keep it simple, and affordable this year. My goal-as I'm sure is everyone's, was to save and not go too crazy. It's not a lot but it was just enough for us, especially since we'd rather be minimal.
