Merry Christmas, everyone! We’re celebrating together and with family today, so we’ll be opening presents, giving gifts, eating brunch, and enjoying ourselves. I’m taking a short post-Christmas break from work and blogging, so I’ll be back in January sharing some more of my favorite things with you! Have a wonderful wonderful holiday!
Last year, Scott and I were newly married, and we wanted to start a Christmas tradition that was more our own. We decided to start doing a Christmas Eve box each year. We really enjoyed this tradition last year, so we plan on continuing! If you haven’t heard of a Christmas Eve box, it’s essentially a gift for the whole family that can be opened the day before Christmas. The box should contain things that the whole family can do together (like a game or a movie), and it gets everyone really excited for Christmas! (Although, to be honest, I really don’t need any help getting excited for Christmas.) 
Decorating for Christmas is fun, but when you’re in a small, rented space, it can be difficult! Today, I’m sharing a mini Christmas home tour with you all, so you can see how we’ve decorated our small space! In an apartment, it’s important to use Christmas décor that’s easy to store, versatile, and doesn’t take up too much space. Here are a few guidelines I kept in mind while decorating for Christmas!
