You do not need a thousand dollar budget, you do not need to have your table set and ready for Christmas dinner today, you do not need to decorate every nook and cranny.
I put together a little collage of what I have done this year for decor. Other than purchasing 1 roll of green burlap ribbon, everything else I have shown was done in two 3 hour afternoons with things I already had at home. Just keepin' it real for us simple folk!
I love looking at all the blogs, getting inspiration and ooh and ahhing. But, if you need to keep it low key, here are a few other blogs I love for simple ideas:
Keep it simple, do what brings you joy, and have a blessed, not stressed Christmas!
These are all fabulous. Love it. Hugs, Marty

I love all of these. So true that you need to do what works for you.
ReplyDeleteSome years I do a lot of decorating and some years I don't. With two wild kittens in the house, this is one of the years when I don't!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteThanks for including me in the round-up! I couldn't agree with you more...blessed, not stressed! My favorite way to decorate at Christmas is to find things I already have and incorporate them into a couple of Christmas vignettes. Seems less stressful to me when I have to take everything down too!
Thanks again.
