Blogmas Day One- It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like....

Well I'm back! I know it's been a minute... but hopefully I can make up for that. I know it's 3 days into December, but I think I'm going to do "Blogmas"- blogging every day till Christmas. It's kind of a spin-off of Vlogmas, which YouTubers do. So, I'm thinking short little Christmassy posts every day. Maybe? Let's see if I can do it. It's a challenge!
Before I start this, may I just say that I LOVE CHRISTMAS?!? So, this is gonna be real, real fun. For me, at least.
For day one, I'm going to do a decoration post! Show you all how my family and I decorate our house for Christmas time!  (Excuse the darkness of the pictures, I didn't realize they were like that until I uploaded them.)

To start off, here's the living areas:

This is one of my favorites. Mom's Willow Tree nativity with the stable that Dad made her.

The Firehouse Christmas town!

Of course, the Christmas tree...

Adorned with lots of  family ornaments!

I love this little guy! He's on our kitchen island.

Mom loves wreaths.

Lots of little knick knacks.

All of our stockings were made by my grandmother. Mom just added the wooden letters this year.

Now on to my bedroom:

This little guy has been around for about 3 years now. The ornaments are a mixture of ones I just couldn't pass up at the store, gifts, and some personal ones.

My Christmas bed! I put my crochet blanket (made by my great grandmother) over my comforter to make it look a little more Christmassy. Also, my Christmas stuffed animals, which are my favorite thing to pull out every year. (If any of you were ever wondering, stuffed animals are definitely a key to my heart)

Okay, I know that this looks a little tacky and thrown-together, but I LOVE Christmas lights and I absolutely HAD to put some up in my room. But, I am terrible at working with them, so this is what happened. 

This banner is probably older than I am, but I don't even care. I like it.

My teeny little manger scene, on display on my desk-turned-vanity table, along with me White Barn Chesnut and Clove No. 2 candle from Bath and Body Works (IT SMELLS LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE)

I bought this little guy last year when I was decorating my dorm. Isn't he so cute??

Of course, the door hangers that I made some time ago... the hand wreath circa 2000. 

Now, my car. Yes, I decorate my car for Christmas.

A wreath on the tire and two magnets! 

You got it, there are LIGHTS INSIDE MY CAR! With a lot of patience and duck tape, this happened. Yay!

Okay, now outside.

Okay, my mom REALLY likes wreaths.

...

This guy has been around for a while now. He used to have someone else's last name on him, but my handyman of a dad fixed that.

These guys have been around even longer. They used to light up, now we have to shine a spotlight on them.

...did I mention my mom liked wreaths?

Okay, so that's my Christmas time house! I LOVE IT! 

I can't wait for the rest of Blogmas! I hope you guys like it! Maybe tomorrow I'll do a DIY gift idea?
