:: and a partridge in a pear tree

Can you believe we are only 2 days away from Christmas Morning?

I just wanted to take a moment to slow down and wish

You a Very Very Merry Christmas!

This years color lights were inspired by a dear friend 

who's tree is truly a thing of holiday magic, 

with over 400 ornaments all numbered and cataloged. 

Talk about Christmas goals.

I would be doing good if I actually

brought out a quarter of my decorations these days.

Sadly, with grown children & no little ones {yet}...

the effort just doesn't seem worth it.

I am however loving our festive color lights this year, 

and I will never ever buy another pre lit tree...EVER.

Why????

Because... 

3-4 hours cutting off literal pounds of lights from your Christmas tree?

I mean you just have to do it at some point,

because adding more lights to your supposed pre lit tree 

just makes it nothing but a hot mess of wired chaos.

It was so worth it in the end.

A clean slate ready for those magical color lights

Now if only I had found some tinsel...

I would have the Christmas tree of my youth.

{ peace, love, hugs & no coal in your stockings }

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Carrie Ann
