It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

I decorated my house (by house I mean apartment) for the holidays this weekend. I went kind of minimalistic this year. I wasn't up for doing full out decorating, but I wanted things to at least look a bit festive. Here are some snapshots of our Christmas decor:
* Our infamous Bah-hum-bug sign (given to Jayson by Molly)
* Our bowl of mint M&M's (my absolute FAVORITE Christmas candy)
* All my scarves and hats (not really a decoration, but a sign that the winter season is here!)
* My ceramic snowmen
* The Nativity
* Our Christmas plant (I decided we would save money this year and not buy a tree, so I decorated our rubber plant instead :)
* The basket of Christmas books and movies
* Christmas mittens! (Sewn for us by Jayson's mom to use as "stockings")
* More mint M&M's!!!


Now all we need is some of this and it will finally feel look and feel like Christmas

(This picture was taken at the beginning of October and we haven't had snow since!)

I know all about the "Christmas bush" that's what we've done the past couple of years. I love the willow tree nativity.

If you want snow then you should come visit us. We got a few inches this weekend, and I'm loving it! I love the decorations. Very cute.
