It was my sister's 19th birthday yesterday, and my mom and her came over for festivities, dining out and last but not least: to decorate my ENORMOUS Christmas tree together! I think we haven't decorated a Christmas tree together since I was about fifteen, so it was a great way to make up for lost time. We all share a love for color, lights and shiny, shiny things so about 99% of our afternoon was spent going "oooooh" and "aaah" and last but not least "ermahgerd".
I always love seeing lots and lots of pictures of other people's Christmas decorations, so don't mind me while I shower you with holiday spirit!
De-tangling the lights, a yearly tradition!
These adorable little colorful bells (bought at Albert Heijn!) actually jingle. Too.Cute.
Awesomely ridiculous ornament I got as a gift. THANKS Elien and Paulien! My firends all know I have a SLIGHT obsession with quirky (to put it mildly) Christmas ornaments, so I've gotten a lot of amazing pieces over the years. Each year my tree gets MORE epic, and almost all of my ornaments tell a story.
Awesome bird ornament also makes an awesome hairpiece.
This bright red little felt sled KILLS me with cute.
DOES THIS NOT SLEIGH YOU? (lolzzzzzz)
A touch of absolawesome Wicker Man (the Nicolas Cage version, of course) in your tree: can't go wrong
If that sled with the tiny Santa didn't slay you, this little smirking angel sure will. I think this one dates back to the 70s, used to be my mother-in-law's.
The boy helping me getting our silly own tree-topper up there (I have a fear of heights, even when I'm standing on a chair)
OPULENCE AT ITS BEST! I was never one for classy minimalism I guess.
Furry hats + Christmas lights + sisters = great photo op. This is one for the photo albums!
Have you decorated your tree and if so, what does yours look like? Or are you skipping on a Christmas tree altogether? Do you love Christmas as much as I do?

ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! I'm feeling the Christmas vibe in this post alone! My sister just finished decorating our own Christmas tree! I didn't help much cause the balls and flowers were a bit dusty and it's bad for my allergic rhinitis. But I love the photos with the lights! =)

ReplyDeleteBeestige kerstboom! Wat is hij mooi groot en lekker over the top, I love it :D. In mijn kamer heb ik zo een fake roze kerstboom van de Hema en ik heb hem helemaal versierd met kleurrijke kerstballetjes, ik vind hem echt zalig :D.
ReplyDeleteAwesome tree decorations! Especially the one with the cat, soooo cute ^^
ReplyDeleteOne tip for your christmaslights: if you put them away again rol them onto a rolled up old towel! If you understand what I mean :D

So nice that you got to decorate your tree with your family! I live alone so I usually decorate my tree alone. It really isn't the same! Love how your tree turned out and I'm with you on the fun ornaments. I'd rather hear the story behind an ornament than have them all match. :)
ReplyDeleteHoogtevrees is niet erg als uwen boy u dan zo schattig vasthoudt!
