Merry Christmas!! | What My Christmas Looked Like…

Happy 12th Day of Blogmas and Merry Christmas!!

We’ve reached the final day of my very first blogmas this year. I hope you all enjoyed my posts and had some fun alongside me! I would love to hear your opinion on how I did! I want to get feedback on what posts you enjoyed, ones you might not have liked as much, or what posts to include next year. 

Today I thought it would be fun to wrap up blogmas by telling you what my Christmas looked like! 

Things are obviously very different this year and that makes the holidays hard and maybe not as exciting. I was so worried that I wouldn’t have as much Christmas spirit, but I’m so glad I was wrong. I was truly so blessed to celebrate with my family and be surrounded by love. This is the first Christmas in a long time that I’ve been in Texas and it didn’t disappoint. 

Christmas Eve

• My family and I baked Christmas cookies and filmed a fun video for Youtube
• I went to my brother and sister-in-law’s to unwrap our annual Christmas pajamas with my nephews, we got matching ones! After that we heated up some milk for our hot chocolate bombs and watched a Christmas movie. I went back home and finished celebrating the night by unwrapping my presents from my dad, stepmom, and sister. 
• I Facetimed my mom after this and we listened to my grandma’s recording of her reading A Night Before Christmas. As I went to bed I put on a couple Christmas movies and relaxed in my new pajamas and basked in the Christmas spirit, I felt like a kid again. 

Christmas Morning

• I went back over to my brother’s with all my presents for them. We exchanged gifts, and I also opened my presents from my mom in Ohio. Then, my dad, stepmom, and sister came over and we ate lunch together, played with my nephews, talked conspiracy theories, and ended the night playing Taboo. 

Reflecting over this Christmas, I’m so blessed. It was more than I could’ve asked for and nothing short of amazing. I pray you all had a wonderful, safe, and healthy Christmas. This year, more than others, we have so much to be thankful for and it’s important to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas Decorations 2020

It’s the 10th Day of Blogmas everyone!!

I thought it would be fun to show you all my Christmas decorations for this year. I have a ton of other decorations in a storage bin that I left in Ohio, sadly. But that’s okay! Because I went out and bought a bunch of new ones this year, so I can add these to the collection. 

Of course, I got all of my decorations from Target, where else would I go? Everything was so reasonably priced, I didn’t feel like I was breaking the bank. I wanted to stick to a simple theme this year with the basic red, green, and white colors to give it a classy and clean look. 

I’m absolutely obsessed with them and I plan on keeping them up way after Christmas is over, everyone needs a little extra cheer this year, right? 

I saw the “Welcome to The North Pole” sign and had to get it. It’s so cute and has all the colors I planned on incorporating this year. I decided to add two mini trees to the other side of my TV, one with a green and black plaid fabric and one with fake snow on the branches. Then I added a stocking with the letter “G” to hang in front. It gave a nice little touch.

Similar to my other sign, I fell in love with this one immediately. It’s so simple but so cute. I thought adding some more mini trees on either side would be a good touch. These ones are slightly smaller than the ones by my TV, but pair perfectly here.

I didn’t want to overdue the decorations on my bed, I thought adding a little touch would dress it up just enough. I got this throw pillow and matched the blanket to that. It adds some color without being overwhelming, which I love. The blanket is so soft and warm, I love using it every night. I highly recommend getting it. (Peep my little Lamby and his family occupying my bed.)

The only decoration I bought for my desk is the little snowman behind my graduation pictures. My desk is a bit smaller so I didn’t want to put too much here. But then I got some Christmas cards in the mail and thought it would be cute to put them on display. I like how it turned out.

Lastly, I found this simple and classic advent calendar. It has a little wreath attached to the end of the string to mark the day. I love advent calendars because they really get you excited as you count the days down to Christmas. I hung this right outside my bedroom door so everyone can see it.

Those are all of them! I’m so excited to share this with you all and hope you enjoyed it. I love putting on a Christmas movie, lighting some candles, and decorating. It’s so soothing and makes my heart so happy getting in the Christmas spirit.    

Do you decorate your room for Christmas? What kind of decorations do you put up? What are some things you do to get in the Christmas spirit?
