With Christmas just around the corner, I have found myself behind! Behind with my shopping, behind with my wrapping, and just generally disorganized! Very unlike me when it comes to this season. But, then again, it has been a very unlikely year. That being said, I need to get it together! To help me do that, I have created a few last minute Christmas printables that I thought I would share in case you’re behind too!

 I am one of those weird people who loves wrapping presents.  It’s such a fun part of Christmas to me.  Yet I know so many people who absolutely hate it.  I’ve come to the conclusion that this is because they don’t have the right tools!  So I put together this post to show you just how easy it is to wrap a Christmas present that is almost too pretty to open!

It’s that time of year when normally we would have guests coming in for weekend ski trips,  friends coming for the annual Christmas party, or family coming for Christmas itself. This year there will be none of that.  Still,  I did my Christmas guest room makeover because… well you just never know! Besides, maybe you are in a place where Christmas guests are still a possibility and you need some inspiration!

Over the years I have accumulated many gorgeous Christmas decorations and I love them all. I’m as excited as a little kid on Christmas morning while unwrapping them from their year in storage! But then I look around and realize there are a few things that I just don’t want to put away for the season. My solution to that is simple…. just add a little greenery!

Those of you who follow the blog know I have a thing for signs.  You also know my loving husband’s take on that (see: Signs of the Season – Autumn).  Despite the constant comments from him, I went about the task of putting up my Christmas signs and writing my Signs of the Season, Christmas Edition post.

The house is overflowing with Christmas decorations from top to bottom.  It’s a lot of work but soooo worth it.  Perhaps the most time consuming thing that I do is the miniature Christmas village that spans an entire wall on the lower level. Today, I’m sharing it with you!

Teddy bears have always been a big part of my decor.  I absolutely love them, so it is no surprise that I have accumulated quite the collection over the years! More than any other time of the year, my bears play a central role in my Christmas season decor.  So we would like to wish you a beary merry Christmas and show you how we celebrate!

I am all decked out for the holidays and I will be doing my 2020 Christmas Home Tour right after Thanksgiving! For the moment though, I thought I would share some of my favorite decorations with you. No surprise…they are my holiday lanterns!
