O.k. maybe Christmas time isn't quite here but I just love Christmas so much that I can't contain my excitement any longer. There is just something about this season that makes me giddy, I think it's a combination of things like drinking Caramel apple spice by the gallons, my love for baking and decorating my home, snow frosted trees reflecting the sparkle of Christmas lights and not to mention the celebration of the birth of Jesus, who I happen to love a lot. I have goose bumps just thinking about it. Anyways our life is a little chaotic this year with building a house and going though our current house deciding what is needed and what is not in a fashion that still allows us to move. I have to admit that because of the chaos I pondered the idea of not decorating this year because we have such high hope of moving into our new place so soon after Christmas......but then I came to my senses and realized that I was being ridiculous and not decorating is not an option. So I will be decorating and so I thought would share a bit of what you may see at our house come the 1st of December.
Joy is my Theme this year and I love this set up....so I think I'll copy it
This tree is very similar to the style of ours but I also love the ornaments in the window
Last year I made this amazing Gingerbread house with a good friend and her amazing mom, this year I think if would be neat to make a white one.
I love bells. I think lining the path to our house would be so charming, unless Honey thinks they're balls to play with and takes off with them. That would not be so charming.

Just so you know, my mom is doing gingerbread houses again this year if you're up for the challenge...I wasn't going to do it, but if you want to, we could! I wonder if we could build the whole thing out of that sugar cookie dough if you want white?
As always, your thought bring me such peace. So calm, so warm, so sincere. I'm always amazed how you can always make me smile, simply by what you share with us. I miss you so much at this time of year, I have no one to sing Christmas Carols with at work. I wish I was there to see you home after you have finished giving it the Dom Christmas touch. Have a great day. Love your BFF Jo
Hey Dom,
I love all your decorating ideas! So festive. What kind of icing did you use to hold the gingerbread house together last year? I want to make my own with graham wafers this year but I don't know how to "glue" the pieces together.
You must be getting so excited for your new place!!!
