So far we have had a great Christmas season. My oldest treasure was in her school Christmas play and I must say she did a wonderful job. She quoted John 3:16 with her classmates and I was so proud! You would have thought she was the star of the play the way my husband and I were so excited! :-)
My house is warm and decorated for Christmas. Christmas presents are being wrapped and we are making precious memories with our little treasures!
Here is a picture of my Christmas mantel! I love the smell of fresh pine so I usually try to use it in my house somewhere when decorating. When I was a little girl my family always had a real Christmas tree. Since I like to put my tree up early and can honestly kill anything (even evergreens) I opt for an artificial tree! So I use natural and fresh decor in other parts of the house.
Here I used fresh pine, apples and pomegranates. The pine cones are cinnamon scented and as soon as you walk in the door you can smell them. This is a very simple and very inexpensive way to decorate! I love the fresh elements in my home.
Hope your Christmas season is as wonderful as mine. Tis the season to be jolly! :-)
Merry Christmas,

great idea about the real pine/decorations-we have artificial too, and I looove the smell of pine. In the middle of moving, so our house is kind of Christmas sad right now! yours looks great!
