5 Things To Do In December

December 9, 2013

Good morning! I hope you had a lovely weekend. My weekend was a relaxing one. Saturday night I popped in The Holiday movie and watched it as I decorated two Christmas trees. Don’t you just love that movie? I could watch it over and over again. Oh and Amanda’s living room in the movie is my inspiration for my living room make-over. Love everything in it! You’ll have to check it out here and tell me what you think. Today, I’m sharing five things that would be perfect to do this time of the year…
1. Bake holiday cookies for your family or friends.
2. Start a special holiday collection… I’m going to collect nutcrackers. 
3. Plan a trip to a snowy destination such as New York City or Vail, Colorado.
4. Build a cozy fire and roast marshmallows.
5. Be on the lookout for Santa’s rein deer…

    I'm all over the fireplace – I put a fire on every day when I get home from work. So relaxing!

    I love The Holiday and have it on blue ray the music and scenes are perfect for decorating too. I also love your nutcracker pick the colors are so subtle. I hope you get to take your trip and enjoy the snow soon.
