Christmas Decor (Part One- Our Big Christmas Tree)

I finally got most of our Christmas decorations up! I don’t know why I’m dragging with decorating this year. Maybe because it doesn’t seem like it should be December.
 
Let’s get started with our big Christmas tree… and Jack. He wanted to say “Merry Christmas” to you guys.
 
Why yes, I am holding a treat in my hand to get him to sit like this.

The tree is an artificial 7 footer. I showed how I put the lights on the tree here.

I scored the glass ornaments from Target at their day after Christmas sale in 2007. 9 boxes (15 ornaments per box) for $2.50 each (originally $9.99)! I love these ornaments. I think that they would really pop on a white Christmas tree. All I have to do is convince Brad…

The ribbon is from JoAnn Fabric, and the star is from Kohls.

 

 

It never fails, every year at least one ornament breaks. Last year Jack’s tail murdered an ornament.
It was my turn to destroy one this year. Whaa-whaa.
 
 
Our Christmas stockings are also from Target, circa 2007. Brad doesn’t really care for them, but I like them and that’s what really matters. Right?
 
 
Come back for Part Two, where I’ll show you our entryway!
 
How is your Christmas decorating going?

Do you also bribe your dog with treats in order to get a decent photo of them?

I’ll be linking up here!

    Lol, he did take a great photo! We’re way behind on putting our decorations up. Hopefully this week. Love your colors. I buy a lot of those colors when I buy ornaments, but my tree is just a whole mish-mash. But, I have a lot of sentimental ornaments so that’s ok. We buy one ornament every year. I need to start looking!

    Your tree looks fantastic! I love how fun it looks. But with my tree at home I’m very much a traditionalist and I use red, green, and white ornaments. For me you can’t get much more beautiful than that. I agree with you that your color combo would be amazing on a white tree…I’ve been wanting a white tree to decorate with just red and green ornaments but unfortunately my husband just can’t see my vision!

    I am definitely not a traditional red and green Christmas decorator, so I am loving how you decorated your tree! We went with a blue/aqua scheme with pops of other color coming in from vintage ornaments. I love all the color at this time of year – it’s fun to stray from the traditional color schemes.

    Your tree looks stunning. I love the stockings too. Everything looks wonderful!

    I have just posted about Christmas stockings on my Christmas blog. Please pop by if you have 5 minutes to spare!

    Best Christmas wishes,
    Natasha.

    Beautiful colors!
    I do the jewel tones at our house, too!
    Mine are plastic…because I have a two year old, a four year old, two black labs and a cat…we’ll do glass when they are older (the kids)!

    I have most of the same ornaments, and I am looking for a white tree right now on craigslist! I had a Christmas luau over the summer and decorated a small white tree-it was SO cute.

    Love your sequin stockings too!! I love that target does stuff in the same color family each year.
