Christmas

It's really hard to believe that Christmas is here, especially when it's 75 in Nashville! As much as I love giving gifts at Christmas and making out my list for Christmas there are so many more things to celebrate this time of year. I am so blessed that I have a wonderful family to spend Christmas with and even more blessed to know the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior! I pray that each of you have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the time you get with friends and family!

Ornaments

Every year several girl friends and I get together and have an ornament exchange. This is always a party I look forward to because it's a fun time to get together, eat yummy holiday food, and exchange ornaments! I put together some of my favorite ornaments this year. I have always wanted a white Christmas tree and am hoping that next year I will have a little white tree full of these beautiful ornaments!

All of these ornaments can be purchased through the following sites:

Pottery Barn   Westelm   Zgallerie   Ballard Design

Happy Holidays!
