h a p p y | Christmas | s t u f f

Lights, garland, music!

I love Christmas time SO MUCH. But I already shared a bit about why I love it in my last post, so now I want to share some things I think are great for Christmas time.

A little of this, a little of that...
Boxwood greenery.
I bought two small boxwood wreaths for my front french doors, and I love them. I love pine and other greenery, but the boxwood is just so fresh looking, I couldn't resist. To make them a little more festive, but without covering them up to much, I added a few little ornament balls to them.


First Christmas tree.
Since my hubby and I have years to collect special, kid-krafted, and other unique ornaments, we stuck with the basics this first year together. We bought an assortment of colored balls, mixed white and colored lights, and then added one picture frame ornament, from a wedding gift, with our wedding picture inside.


Throwback to 2011.
I made this Christmas 2011. It was amazing. No, I have not made it again, but I do recommend something making it! And maybe I will again one day. Peppermint, cheesecake, cake, icing, more peppermint… it's all there and it's all perfect.


Ok, now onto things on my WISHLIST.
A sparkly sequined skirt. I've been searching the city for the perfect one, and though I haven't found it yet, I still believe in the magic of Christmas and I'll find one soon enough. But if not, I'll totally take a pair of these pants instead! I'd love to rock those for a Christmas or New Years party.


THIS.
I LOVE mojitos. And I still swear, the Sandal's resort we went to on our honeymoon had the MOST amazing mojitos ever. But I found this one and I love the look of it for Christmas time. I haven't tried it yet, planning on this week or next actually. And I'll try to remember to share how it tastes. Basically, it's just a regular mojito with melon and pomegranate seeds. Sounds delish, I know.


And that.
Found this adorable thing in Target yesterday. It went immediately on my Christmas list my family is begging for. I'm not much for making a list of items. I never know what I want until I'm out shopping and randomly find something. This is one of those somethings.

And now the kicker :: my December inspiration collage

Merry Christmas, y'all!
