Every year the excitement gets to be too much, and so, I decorate the weekend before Thanksgiving.
I really don't do a lot. I like simple decorations. This year we made a beautiful wreath for our front door, and we made our garlands instead of purchasing them. A new family tradition. I have no idea why I was ever afraid to try it.
I think my favorite part is this. Our own Charlie Brown tree. Cut down in the woods behind our house. Complete with too many lights, too many decorations, and lots of little hands tugging on it all day.
Hang in there little tree.

That is the best tree I've seen in a long time. It's perfect.
Love Shannon
Oh I LOVE it! That is too dang cute. A real tree that you have cut down yourself is the best thing ever.
I love your tree! Especially knowing little hand are adoring it.
We listen to Christmas music early too and can't wait to dig out our decorations once we have had snow. The spirit strikes me earlier every year.
As usual, you have the most lovely photos in your posts. Thanks for sharing!
I love that little tree! :) I agree that one month is just not enough for this holiday -- I start the music and decorations a bit before Thanksgiving and don't stop until after New Year's Eve :)
I love your Charlie Brown Christmas tree! We have gaudy (dare I say ugly?)decorations...lights shaped like santa, reindeer on the front porch (with heads that move up and down), huge plastic "Noel" light up candles. Enough to make you cringe! lol!
the tree is AWESOME. just perfect!
This is all straight out of a magazine, it's so pretty. I love the simplicity here. Tell me, do your garlands shed much? I'd love to be brave and try that too...
With your wonderful talent & total lack of fear in decorating with white, you could keep Christmas garland, a wreath and tree up all year and even someone like me who kind of dilly-dallies would sit in peace & tranquility 24/365. and i love your Charlie Brown tree! When my husband & I were both working in forest management, we, too, were fortunate to cut our own tree...a loblolly or a red cedar. it's what brings you the most joy that really matters and little hands decorating must certainly be that! :)
All of your decorations are beautiful! This type of tree is actually my favorite kind. It reminds me of a Laura Ingall's Christmas. One month is too short!
I love your decorations and the sweet tree. I especially love, love, love your last sentence "Hang in there, little tree." You hang in there too, my sweet Katie. Beautiful YOU and your unbridled holiday enthusiasm has always certainly made MY Christmas time more merry!!
Love you! MOM
Wait, do you live in a magazine? That is so, so beautiful. Simple and elegant. I LOVE the tree...
ME too! I put away the last of the leftovers and up went the 'ole girl-no time to wait! I admit to listening to Christmas music for over a month now-secretly! I love all 5 of your stockings hung on the stairs, it reminds me of the beautiful family you and Frank have made.
