I cannot believe another year has flown by and the holiday season is here once again! I wait all year long for December, as it is my most favorite time of the year. Like, I literally start counting down the days starting December 26th. Christmas time is just so lovely. I love the feeling I get when I hear and see all of the Chritstmassy things everywhere I go. I also really enjoy shopping around for gifts for my family and friends, baking holiday treats and singing along to my Colbie Caillat-Holiday Pandora station in the car. Oh, and the fact that I don't have to go to school.
What's special about this Christmas season is it is my very first one on my own. Every year we put up the same decorations in the same places at my mom's house, but this year I bought decorations of my own and I couldn't be happier!
I went to Michaels again for all of my floral arrangements. It takes me so long walking up and down the floral aisles trying to decide which pieces to buy, but once I get them home and arrange them how I want they usually turn out amazingly. I used the same mason jars from my fall decor and white vase from IKEA. They're just so versatile and appropriate for each season.
The rest of the decor came from, of course, Target. And it just wouldn't feel right without the winter scented candles from bath and body works. I chose the scents 'Tis the Season and Vanilla Snowflake, which both smell so delicious!
And last, but not at all the least, is the tree! Christmas just doesn't feel complete without one. We bought a real tree, which is a tradition in my family, but my boyfriend's first one. It was so much fun decorating with him :) I love how it turned out even though it is quite simple.
I hope you're all having an amazing holiday season and are looking forward to Christmas as much as I am!
