O Christmas Tree, How Lovely Are Your Branches

Welcome to a (very, mini, small) Christmas tour of my home! 
We don't have too many Christmas decorations around our house, so this will mainly be pictures of our (real) Christmas tree. 
But, you best believe that if I had my own place, it would be decked out in so many Christmas-y things. 
Also, bonus points if you can find the slightly creepy elf in the pictures below.
(Also, I took these right when I first woke up, so they aren't my best. Nor is it the best lighting.)

When we lived in Memphis and I was little we always had a real Christmas tree. Once we moved to Alabama (our house got smaller) we went a few years with a fake tree. Then, one year we wanted a real tree again and that is that. :)

When I was younger we had many different ornaments on the tree. Like things that I had made, little ornaments with my picture in them, all that jazz. Well, now we do simple silver and red (I was really feeling red and gold, but we went with silver.) with white lights. I love the way white lights look, but last year we did have colored lights and they are festive and pretty as well. :) 

It's probably quite easy to figure out who's stocking is who's at my house. (If it isn't: Mom, Dad, Me) Stockings are probably one of my most favorite things about Christmas. I love the surprise that comes with stockings on Christmas morning. And I love giving gifts, but I REALLY love filling stockings! You can fit so many goodies and gifts into those things! :)

 

Christmas Cards are also one of my favorite things! I love getting mail, but Christmas Cards are just so much fun and help you get connected and keep up with family that may be far away. This year, I started a tradition for me. I sent out Christmas cards to my friends! Can't wait to continue that in the years to come. 
:) 

Mom got this snow globe as a secret sister gift! It can also play music as the snow swooshes around! That poor angel is in a blizzard! ha.

I love wrapping presents and putting them under the tree. But, this little Nativity set is a reminder of what the season is all about! 

That's all for this Christmas tour! 
I hope you enjoyed the many pictures of my tree.
