the little red ribbon

it's official. we don't have a tree this year.
i keep waiting to see if daniel changes his mind or i have a suddenly burst of energy to go lug it home myself but i can safely say now, its defo not happening...


we'll just have to make peace with the pretty sparkley trees in our hood and take many touristy pictures with them. i can't help but feel a little guilty that our home doesn't look the least bit christmassy. today, i spotted this cute (and inexpensive) idea today from in the fun lane!  


a simple length of ribbon to add a holiday touch to everyday things...


THAT i definitely can (and will) do! :) 

hope your home is filled with christmas trees, twinkle light 
and holiday cheer!

  2. You're not alone, I've heard several bloggy friends say they were skipping trees this year. You can still add a bit of Christmas cheer around your home though. I think the simple red ribbon is such a nice touch. I'd love to see pics of how you use ribbon in your place if you get a chance. :)
