why don't you...

christmas is coming

1. ditch the tree skirt, or the whole notion of one giant tree? cluster a few small varieties and wrap the stands in burlap.
2. hang sleighbells from different doors in your home? think a good thought every time one of the bells tinkles.
3. build a mini village of glittery putz houses on your mantle?
4. roast chestnuts on an open fire, or in your oven? chelsea cook posted a simple-how to...
5. burn cedar incense if you don't have your own working fireplace. it's a pretty fantastic solution, and brook farm general store has plenty!
6. forage your own backyard for a wreath-making party with loved ones? amy merrick has some very helpful hints for modernizing this overlooked holiday craft.
7. watch a home alone marathon with your family? home alone 2 is my personal favorite!
8. stage a massive camp out in the basement, sleeping bags and all?
9. stock up on the holiday stamps this year? the design is so classic and will be a forever crowd-pleaser.

I bought a TONNN of those pretty pine forever stamps. I hate the bell ones! I probably should buy even more while they're still around...

Love your chistmas collage!! I thought the holiday stamps were lovely this year (although I DID love the nutcrackers from a couple of years ago) and one of my favorite things my mother always did at the holidays was hang the leather strapped horse bells - so festive!!

I have absolutely zero need for that sleeping bag, but for some reason I keep clicking back to it! It just seems so right, HA!
