I wanted to wish my blog stalkers a wonderful holiday season and, as I do yearly, I wanted to share my holiday decor. It all started with a metal Charlie Brown-like Christmas tree that one of Nathan’s cousins had given me as a gift. I knew from that moment that traditional holiday decorations were not what I was seeking.

Last year, I added turquoise and red stockings to the mix. This year, I started my hunt for the perfect silver tree. And it was found!

Nathan was in an origami mood this year so I added some of his creations to the mantle. Dinosaur.

This is last year’s Santa ornament that I mentioned in this post. Speaking of, I decided on the Galaga ornament, but never got around to going to Hallmark. I might try them the day after Christmas to see if they have any left. Fingers crossed.

This year, I added red peacock feathers to the stockings.

Last, but not least, here’s a peek at this year’s holiday cards. They actually went out yesterday (my bad!) because I was waiting for some stickers that never came in (their bad!).

Stay tuned for outtakes from our annual holiday shoot – coming on Monday!
