Trimming the Nest

We did a lot more holiday decorating this year than we have in the past.  It is still pretty small scale stuff but we added a little touch of the holidays to our home with our zero budget and small space...

In the past couple of years the short number of hours with daylight as we approach the winter solstice has started to drive me crazy.  The extra strings of lights framing the windows helps add a bit of cheer.

 

We did an advent calendar for the first time this year.  It has been fun and kept us moving through all of the small stuff that we wanted to do to get ready for and enjoy the holidays.
