Christmas Ideas 2016 For Every Budget + Style

December 9, 2016 · In: Interior design

Christmas Decorating Ideas 2016
Ready for a dose of Christmas Ideas 2016?  Here we go!

You’ve just closed on your house and your entire life is still packed in boxes.  What’s the first thing you do?  Decorate the Christmas tree! … Or if you are my husband, you go outside and start throwing lights at bushes… while you wife yells at you that she would like to find her shoes before decorating, but then sneaks off and throws a wreath and garland at the door.

What?  You aren’t crazy like us?  

Christmas is pure magic.  Well, mostly.  Sure, it’s expensive and the kids’ wish lists make you feel wholly inadequate as a provider, but dog gonnit’, whether you have just closed on your house, you are thinking about moving in the spring, or you’ve been there forever and ever, amen, there’s just something special about the season.

It’s the shouts of joy, the twinkle in their eyes, and all those cookies that make you do it over and over again.

I’ve been seeing SO much inspiration about the internet these days.  I had to share some of my favorites with you!  I’ve got some great ideas, some budget friendly DIY’s, and, of course, cookies!!

Go crazy and make adorable cut out cookies.  I love the snow globe cookie cutter!  SO cute!

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
