I had so much fun sharing some of my fall home decor, that I thought I would jump on and share some of my favorite spots in our house during the Christmas season. I don't have links for a lot of items because they are so old (or from discount places), but I'll do the best I can! Our Living Room We keep things pretty traditional around here. I just love everything red and green this time of year. Here is our living room... where we spend the most of our time!
