Christmas in our home

{card holder waiting for cards + tiny houses handmade by a friend}

 

 I'm not really into festive decorations except when it come to Christmas.  There's just something about this time of the year.  Even though the weather feels like it should be September instead of December, I try every year to make our home feel cheery and appropriate for Christmas.
