Christmas Details Around Our House

To those of you who host Christmas every year, how do you do it? I’ve been going non-stop all week and I’m worn out! But the house is decorated, the gifts are wrapped, and the fridge is stocked.

Here are some glimpses around the house. I bought these white paper stars on my last trip to India (I wish I had bought more! Note to myself for next time.)

These are party favors I put together with tiny boxes from Michael’s. (There are Swiss chocolates inside.)

And around our house, even the Christmas decorations get tweaked. Remember the foyer from last week?

It got a little sprucing up with a sequin pillow and branches with glass ornaments.

I’m off to finish the guest room and start cooking for tonight. Have a wonderful Christmas eve! I’ll see you tomorrow with a special Saturday Christmas post!

    Classy, fresh and lovely! Very nice, Ally.

    Do you know that those paper stars is a very Swedish thing? Every single home has one or two in the windows! (They are all lit). That is your Swedish gene, my friend!

    Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Thank you, all!

    Sara: I got that pillow a really long time ago – I think at Nordstrom. I saw something similar at Neiman Marcus recently (that I also want!)if you have one near you.

    Julie: I’m thinking of leaving them up all year(!) At this point, I just hope I make it to new years. I’m EXHAUSTED! :)
