O Christmas tree
This is the third Christmas tree that I've put up with Frenchie (okay, so it's the same fake tree every year) and we have slowly been adding special ornaments and a yarn / felt angel topper. The ornaments have been red and gold but this year we added tartan ribbons cascading down the sides. I'd love to have an All-American preppy Christmas. It's traditional, warm and strikes a contrast to the all white and silver tree that my parents have at their house, complete with fake icicles. Something about growing up in an Asian household excluded me from all that and I'd like to have at least one.
And yes, that's a early Christmas present you see under the tree. A Staub dutch oven! Frenchie bought it on sale over the weekend and I can't wait to braise and stew in it to my heart's content. We really need an exercise plan after this holiday season.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty!! I'll be getting a small 3 foot tree for my little apartment. It does the job though. All about the cheer :) lol
ReplyDeleteI love it! There is nothing that I love more on a tree than cascading ribbons. I hope you have the preptastic Christmas you've dreamed of.
ReplyDeletePretty! Wait until you have kids decorating that thing--there will be no symmetry and all the ornaments will be at the top of the tree to prevent little hands from grabbing them constantly.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, and a a pressie already!
ReplyDeletei can imagine you can cook lots of delicious things in that oven :)
ReplyDeleteLove your tree, we really need to get the one in our house up soon! I'm already working on a workout plan to be a step ahead of all this eating the holiday season brings.
