Deck the halls...fa la la la la

Ok, how long has it been since I posted? Um......too long! This past week was so busy with family, Thankgiving, decorating and shopping. I will go ahead and confess that our shopping outing on Friday didn't yield a single Christmas gift for anyone....but ourselves...and I am not one bit embarrassed! That's how it always seems to go on our first trip out. I know my mom picked me up a few things when I wasn't looking, but other than that no one else got a dang thing! I hope you all had a very successful black Friday if you decided to venture out into the madness:)

I got off from work on Tuesday and had the rest of the week off. So, on Tuesday night I started decking out the townhouse for Christmas. I don't think I can explain to y'all how excited I am to have my first big-girl Christmas! Below are some pictures that I took this evening when I got back from my parents' house. Hope you enjoy!

The fireplace



Close-up of the mantle, I am SO proud of this!



I have holiday ribbon tied on all my lamps 



My fabulous 12 ft Christmas tree! This picture does not do it justice! It still needs a few more ornaments, but, hey, it takes a lot to fill a tree that big!



I got these big snowflake ornaments at the Dollar Tree for, yes, you guessed it, $1!



I bought a pack of six ornaments at Wal-Mart (in this pretty green and red). Then I tied these bows and hot glued them on the top to add a little 'fancy.'



Tree topper


Pretty Christmas table setting. Simple but beautiful.



This is one of the first Christmas decorations that I purchased. I found this beautiful Norman Rockwell canvas at Tuesday Morning.


Little Christmas tree on my kitchen counter


I got this adorable garland at Home Goods for 8 bucks! The miniature clothes pins are to hang up your Christmas cards!



The tree in my office. Isn't this so fun? I decided to do bright ornaments on this tree. There are candies, fish, lollipops, funky-colored Christmas balls, and green glittered leaves as the tree topper!





Frosty greets you as you come in the door


Target for $10. This is hanging on the back of the front door



The front door, I am obsessed with cranberries, if you can't tell!
 


A shot of the front of my townhouse. I have one of those light-up snowmen down the hill at my mailbox, too!



Well, I hope y'all enjoyed the mini-tour of my home all decked out for the holidays. There are few other decorations that I didn't include in the post- there is too much!! I can't wait to see pictures of your homes decorated for Christmas, too!  

Also, I got my hair chopped this weekend! It's the shortest it's ever been (well, besides when I was five and had a bob)! Don't fret, loves, it's not that short! I will post pictures this week =)


Happy Sunday, everyone!

I love all of your Christmas decorations! Where did you get the light up presents on the fireplace? I have been looking for some like that but the only ones I found (@ the Holiday Market) were $60 and up. I love your tree topper! Very cute!

Wow! Your trees look beautiful! I am totally going to steal the clothespin idea-I have been searching for a way to hang up cards (with our limited space)
