As I pulled out boxes of Christmas decorations,
I was overwhelmed with the memories of it all.
I was overwhelmed with the amount of it all!
With my 2012 motto being Simplify,
I decided to simplify my decorating.
Decor totally enhances and helps to immerse
in the spirit of the season.
But, I think the simplicity brings the focus
back to Him
My tree is very simple this year:
white lights, red balls and snowman ornaments
I have used not even half of what I have.
Less feels better. It feels lighter and less burdensome.
My mantel is simple, not ornate.
My three stockings for my three babies
A snowman (because I have a fetish)
And a cute printable you can get here.
your mantel looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh and I agree...simple is better!!! in almost everything!
Beautiful! Sometimes it's freeing to leave a few things in the box. I try every year to not allow it to get overwhelming... but my entertainment center top is crazy this year. :)
ReplyDeleteBTW - thanks for the thoughtful comments on my blog. I love to read them!! I gave you the blog award "Liebster" - go and visit me to see what it's all about!! :)
I'm all about minimalism. It helps when you have to move every two years or so.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks lovely. We have been in the middle of a kitchen renovation nightmare, so our decorations aren't even up yet. Just a little pointsettia and some Christmas cards. I was heartbroken about it at first, but, actually, the simplicity of it has been kind of nice!
