And I really didn’t think I was ready for 18 inches of snow–but as it turns out, it wasn’t so bad to bundle up and head out or drink cocoa and watch a Christmas classic, okay–Elf. Â And when the snow didn’t stop after the first day, we thought, “This is it. Â It’s officially the holiday season! Â Let’s break out the tree.” Â So we did:
Yes, only a few days after we decorated for Thanksgiving. Â Aye, we love it all around here. We aren’t really done decorating the tree–that we decked out with blues and golds–but it has a good start. Â In addition to this year’s ornament (we buy an ornament and date it each year) I am just itching to add some oversized….somethings to the tree. Â This tree, with a bunch of oversized bulbs and stars, has officially become my inspiration.
Yowza! (I am fairly certain this image is from Country Living, but I can’t find the exact source link) We’ll keep you posted when and how (to DIY or to buy?) these big bad ornaments make it onto our tree soon. So, while Christmas doesn’t officially kick off until after Thanksgiving for most people (we get it), a little bit has weaseled its way into our living room in the form of an in-progress tree–and let me just say, it’s not bad at all. :)
Also, that snow?? Â Melted completely. Also, not bad. When do you typically put up the ol’ tree?
Love your tree! I’ve already started decorating but my husband says I have to wait until December 1 for the tree :)
I’ll do you one worse. I made our stockings and have already hung them up! We are entertsining for Thanksgiving and thought, hey, why not!
Thanks for the tip, Caitlin!!! I was able to get a few big ones from our dollar store. Thanks so much!
beautiful! love how it looks with your wall color.
Your tree is so pretty! I love the blue & gold combo. I’ve seen a ton of oversized ornaments at the dollar stores. They’re going fast though so I’d try and snatch some up soon!
I always try and wait to put my tree up until the weekend after Thanksgiving but it may go up Thursday night if I can’t help myself haha
