Decorating Simply For Christmas...Can It Be Done?

OK, so it is not December 1...yet!  Once again, I am in panic mode about my Christmas decorating.  I am definitely not the type to have my tree up right after Thanksgiving or my outside Christmas lights!  This is the point where I ask myself "Why can't I keep it simple?".  The image above evokes how simple things can be.  A swag of evergreens just draped across a mantle.  You know what I also think about when I look at this "easy" decoration?  That I actually have to drag myself to the store to find it!  I will though even if it can be tiring... all for the sake of keeping it simple!  In the end, it is all fun and worth it!  I love this time of year and enjoy when I finally get up to speed and get it together.  There is always next year to start earlier, right?

This is such a cozy room.  Just the right amount of decorating here.  Love how the Christmas Tree glows!

Nice and simple!

I would never use a white Christmas Tree...just would not look right in my home.  However, the white tree just adds the right amount of sparkle to this rustic home.  

Well, there is something to be said for keeping it simple!  Now, should I drag out all my Christmas nutcrackers?  Maybe not!

Have fun decorating!
