Here are some of my favorite images I've collected online this year to get excited for Christmas and to give me some inspiration for decorating, presents, etc.

Christmas has been all about vintage and kitsch: aluminum trees, white trees,
pink trees; brightly coloured ornaments, Polonaise ornaments especially;
bottlebrush trees, miniature trees, terraniums; miniature figurines, miniature
houses and churches, miniature animals; pastel and pink color palettes;
wreaths made of anything but the classic pine (old ornaments, light bulbs)
and lots of DIY creations. This year I learned more about the classic German
Christmas and now I'm really into mushrooms ornaments and decorations,as well as pickle ornaments. Another tradition I learned about is shelf elves
which is when you have an elf doll of some sort and the parents are to place
it in a different spot every day around the house, sometimes even setting it
up in funny positions or strange places. The whole point is that you tell the
kids the elf is reporting back to Santa and therefore is kind of watching them
at all times. Especially if you move it every day they really believe it's moving onits own at night time or whatever and it encourages them to be on their best
behaviour. Some people think it's kind of mean, but really it's no different than
the whole story and theory of Santa Claus that all kids are taught "he sees you
when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake", really it's no more of a "lie"
than most traditions of Christmas and I think it's absolutely genius. I haven't
made too many crafts this season but I definitely have  a lot of ideas after
spending so much time on Pinterest and Google images.
Here are some pictures I've taken:
