What's your favorite part of the Christmas season? For some, it's the music. For others, it's the food. For me, the decor is one of the brightest spots in the holiday season. There's something about twinkling lights and precisely placed ornaments that's breathtaking and heartwarming all in one.
While I've got a few staple, classic ornaments that come out year after year, I like to toy with my collection. Some years I pick things up; some years I let things go. Most years, I'll do a little of both.
This year, I'm in a new house and looking to add a few ornaments to my collection. It's so exciting and a great opportunity to evaluate my tree's style. There are a lot of wonderful Christmas ornaments out there, and I've got my eye on these.
