Well, this year the Christmas spirit has been a little bit harder for me to find within myself! I think my job has kept me so busy that I have seen Christmas decorating as more of a chore than a joy. Sad, but true! We were really wanting to do a contemporary take on a Christmas tree this year. We brainstormed some ideas (i.e. spray paint a tree red, find a tree to hang upside down, etc.) We grew a little weary of our lack of a creative idea that we loved. So, we decided to buy a 20 dollar 4-foot RED tree from Wally-World. Its pretty cute and easy assembly! It is a lot easier to put up and take down than our big one. I also put out my lime green tree this year which is usually one I put up in my office. However, I am not in my office much so I decided it would be less neglected out our house. I have taken a couple pictures from around our house and included them below. We also went to C's company Christmas party on Saturday evening. Since we were dressed up we took the opportunity to take a picture in front our our tree via self-timer! It took a couple of takes but overall I think it turned out well. I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our low cost/simple style Christmas decorating! :)

Happy Christmas Decorating. CEC.
