If you don’t follow me over on Instagram, I thought I’d share some of my holiday décor.

I love getting in the Christmas spirit and usually start decorating right after Halloween! Yes, I completely skip over thanksgiving but turkeys just aren’t my thing. I was excited to get my first real tree this year (cut fresh from.. my back yard!). It ended up being a little bigger in my living room than I planned, and don’t tell anyone but it’s totally crooked.

I always try to stock up on clearance decorations at Target after Christmas (like that amazing marquee Santa sign that I got for $5!), and I love to mix in family heirlooms like my grandma’s vintage glass ornaments. When I was little my mom always put out this wooden reindeer that used to be as big as me. I’ve been begging her to find it so I can put it by my little fireplace.

How do you decorate for the holidays? Do you have any favorite traditions?
