My most vivid memory of growing up was how I felt in my home. Christmas time has always been and always will be my favorite time of year. My mom has a way of making things beautiful. From the room I am sitting in to the kitchen table set for dinner; it was always beautiful. Christmas time was always where she went the extra mile to make certain it was extra special for me. One specific day during the holidays, I remember walking down the stairs and stopping at the landing. A fire was burning, the essence of cinnamon and spice filled the air and a Christmas movie was playing. I stood in that spot and just took it all in... It was "the feeling". I said this out loud, too. "I have the feeling!" With all that being said, everyone in my life knows about "the feeling":christmas music, holiday drinks, shopping malls at Christmas, Christmas trees, lights, scented candles smelling of pumpkin, cinnamon and pine... I could go on and on.
I have a daughter who is about to be 4 years old on Friday, December 2nd. She loves Christmas just like I do, and just like her grandma. I told myself that I will make sure to make my home a place as magical for my daughter as my mom made it for me. ESPECIALLY during the holidays. Here are some pictures of my place this year for Christmas. Enjoy!
XOXO,
