It was crazy : I dropped my parents off at the airport on Saturday morning and when I got home was completely over the yellow and orange and general Thanksgiving-ness that has dominated our apartment for the last month. I was surprised at how quickly I went from loving it to needing a change.
I switched out our orange candles for white ones and picked up some red berry branches at the farmer's market. Instant Christmas without the Santa feel.
And a wreath I had ordered from this etsy shop came just in time too. It's so understated, I want to keep it up all year long. But I imagine pulling it out every December will be much more exciting.
We are not planning on getting a tree this year. I have a feeling that we will start getting trees again when we have our first little one. No reason, it just works for us to go without. I am planning on getting some sort of evergreen branch to put in a vase or something though - we'll see.
I also have a plan for a big garland extravaganza to hang over our window. Going to be working on that later this week.
