Many of you know that I love to decorate for the holidays. My favorites are Halloween and Christmas. My decorating consists of taking everything down and putting holiday décor up. I love going into houses that just add a touch of holiday with their regular décor, it just adds a beautiful festive touch. I'm not good at doing that. I don't know how to incorporate and add too. So, I usually take down all the regular décor and put up holiday.
That way I don't get sick of the regular stuff and it feels new again when it comes back out.
This year with moving into a new house, I got to start with holiday décor first. At first it was a bit overwhelming but once I got it all out and got going I fell in love with my house..... and Christmas!
Picture of my new tree all decorated in the new house. I wish I would have turned the tree lights on and checked the picture before taking in down.... not a great pic but you can kinda see it.
So many people asked how I got all my decorations up and how I decorated the tree.... well, here's how.... I used a 10 foot ladder and went to town. I have no fear of heights and I just do it.
After all the lifting, climbing, leaning, stretching, grunting, and sweating, here is the finished project. (don't mind kids tv show, the hanging wires, computer and toys - pretend they aren't there cuz they really were hidden most of the season).
I was sad to take it all down cuz now the real work has to be done. The day after I took it down I heard one of my kids say, "it looks like we just moved in". I wish it was as easy to decorate and make my home have that feeling I want it to have with my regular decorations, when the holidays aren't around. Here's to hoping I can figure it out.
Wish me luck!
Happy New Year!
