12 Ways to Deck the Halls

Ever since I can remember, the first weekend in December has traditionally been the time to throw on the Christmas carols, put up the tree and deck the halls. Perhaps this was a rule put in place by my parents to avoid constantly being nagged by us kids the day after Halloween, but I suspect this is the weekend most households officially kick off the holidays, get in the festive spirit, and hang the stockings with care. Later this evening I'll be doing just that myself. So I felt the need to kick off my 12 days of Christmas series with holiday decorations and ornaments all chosen from Etsy. I am seriously in love with a few of these pieces and wish I had seen them earlier in the season, particular that gorgeous advent calendar from Australia! It will be mine.
