It has arrived...

Yes indeed, that fateful time of year where everyone feels inclined to sing me any Christmas song that includes the word "holly" in it. I've heard it all "deck the halls with bows of holly"... "the holly and the ivy"... "oh by gosh by golly, it's time for mistletoe WITH holly" that's the most clever one. But in truth, I've never actually been caught under mistletoe before.

But I'm now currently sitting at my kitchen table listening to Nat King Cole sing me Christmas music over my record player. It's just beautiful. Christmas is beautiful. I love Christmas!! And although I may get a lot of musical grief about it, I love my name. And I love that it's Christmas themed. And then I love to tell people that I also have a brother named Noel. I think my parents really love Christmas too.

But you wanna know something weird? One of the reasons I'm most excited to start a family is for the Christmas cards! I can't wait to take family Christmas photos or send out Christmas cards. I can't wait to decorate our home for Christmas and such! Below are some adorable ideas that I love.
I just need to marry a graphic designer or something to make these, I'm crap at Adobe Illustrator

I simply love silhouettes!

These first christmas ornaments are classic, that way you don't get stuck years later trying to find a sneaky place to hide the Hallmark Crayola "Baby's First Christmas" ornament
