Things I Love - Christmas!

Christmas China | My grandmother gave me four sets of her Country Rose Christmas china several years ago (along with four sets of normal Country Rose china) and I LOVE to pull it out at Christmastime. We use the plates for every dinner and I enjoy many cups of hot tea in the tea cups.

Dressing Festive | You know those cute little old ladies who are always decked out for each season? I've decided I don't want to wait until I'm an old lady to dress festive. My goal is to wear a festive outfit every day this month! Whether it's one of the Christmas skirts I've made or pulling out the red and green clothes in my closet (it was 75 degrees the other day so I had to wear my red gingham summer dress), I'm embracing Christmas in my closet.

Community Festivities | Last week our town had "Movie in the Park" and we grabbed our folding chairs and headed to the park to watch "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" on a huge projector screen. It's one of my least favorite Christmas movies, but it was actually cold outside and we got some hot chocolate, so it was still a lovely time. We are looking forward to more upcoming festivities in our area! Sweet Treats On Main Street (we're selling Christmas cookies to raise funds for our next missions trip), the Christmas parade, the Christmas Farmers Market, and our church's pancake breakfast are coming up and we're excited to go!

Christmas Decor | I love decorating the house for Christmas and my husband loves it too. We decorate in November, before Thanksgiving, and he's cool with me leaving the decor up through January if I feel like it. There's nothing like a sparkling Christmas tree. Casey loves those little villages, so we've been thrifting pieces and he enjoys setting them up. And I love adding gingerbread decor in the kitchen!

Christmas Movies | Despite the fact that I don't like a lot of "classic" Christmas movies, I DO love Christmas movies. My fave is White Christmas. And honestly, I LOVE cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. Yes, I know how they are going to end, but there is something so comforting about knowing everything is going to end up happily ever after.
