Perhaps because woke up to a blanket of snow and negative temperatures today, but I just remembered that I never posted our Christmas house. And now I realize I didn’t take a single photo of the basement. The Star Wars and fireman trees were set up down there. My view from my late night post propped by the fire filled me with all the cozy holiday feels while I waited up for Corbin to get home.
The addition of a tree in the music room is our favorite thing this year. I had a lot of fun making the mini records and collecting tiny instruments, record players, and music stands. Carly has these multi color felted balls on one of her trees and I love it so much, I finally got a few strands for my house. I was also influenced by the internet and bought a strand of Moroccan star lights. I paid too much for them, but they do add a lot of fun to the room.
Esme and Sloane decorated the tree in their bedroom. I love having little girls to fill our world with pink and glitter and rainbows and ballet and stars and unicorns.
Over Thanksgiving break, Reese and Quincy put the Harry Potter tree up together after its 2024 hiatus and it brought a magical glow to the loft all month.
My children sleeping under the tree is my favorite Christmas decoration of all time. No contest.
I added this origami fun paper accordion tree collar thing this year. It folds flat like a book. Paper craft people are amazingly creative. My mom gave me the paper ornaments she decided against, and some surplus orange garlands from her tree. I added some popcorn stands and red felt ball garland and little clip on led candles just made me love my tree all over again.
I’m planning to paint or wallpaper this wall in the summer anyway, so I went ahead and used some 3m sticky tabs to put up a fun Christmas collage on the wall. It’s still up as a reminder to make a decision about what to do with that wall. It’s full of pics from Christmases past, plus one from the August when Reese got her wisdom teeth removed and thought it was Christmas, so Bradley came over in a Santa suit haha. Corbin and Q playing a cello duet of Gesu Bambino in church on Christmas Day, lots of babies crying with Santa, lots of Christmas Eve nativities, Reese kissing my belly in the snow the day before Quincy was born, all the kids feeling my belly the night before Sloane was born, Esme’s dollhouse, the twins first snowfall, Quincy as Mary delivering the baby Jesus, and our Christmas in the rental house after the fire. Not sure where I will
Put it next year, but this wallbrought us lots of joy in 2026. These memories are precious and I’m happy to keep adding to our Christmas wall over the years.
