I’m doing really well in my efforts with not buying much this year in the way of Christmas decorations. Our master bedroom is decorated with items we’ve had for years. I love the red and green traditional colors in the main rooms of my home, but I like my bedroom to be feel more calming and cozy. I want to walk into my room and be able to relax, so it mostly has a sparkly woodsy feel to it. Like when you’re walking in the woods, the sun is shining and the snow is glistening. Oh, so beautiful! Anyway, that’s how my room makes me feel.

All the ornaments have a gold tone to them. And it makes a great night light once it’s dark. It sits on my side table.

This is the ornament that started me collecting ornaments every year for my children. My parents bought this first ornament for me after they were married. I thought it would be such a fun tradition to start with my own family. It’s 37 years old.

What I like to feel in my room and life.

On our dresser.


On another small table.

This little bird is the only thing I bought new in my room this year. $2 at Wal-Mart. Isn’t she pretty?

I’ll probably leave all of this up through January. I just like the way it makes the room feel.
