Deck the Halls

My mom LOVES Christmas, that is probably where I get my Christmas craziness. So the day after Thanksgiving we start decorating the house and the few weeks before Christmas she bakes tons of cookies and other treats! We make candy canes together and as of last year we make French Macarons. Here is a look at SOME of the decorations at our house. This is hardly anything, if I showed you it all we would be here forever.  There are also TONS of trees in our house, 1 large real one, 1 large fake one and then lots of little fake ones...

    Christmas decorations are the best - I love your collection of small trees! They look stunning together.

    You make candy canes? I'm impressed! Homemade ones are delicious.

    I've always been jealous of people who get their christmas tree right after thanksgiving. In my family, for some reason we wait until 2 weeks before christmas!
