i'm dreaming of a green christmas

It never fails. This time of year, my mind always skips ahead to Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween and I love love Thanksgiving. But Christmas always feels so magical to me and I can't help but think ahead.

I am not one of those people who minds seeing Christmas trees in the stores in October. Bring it on. Love the inspiration. Instead, I'm the girl who needs to take down the holiday decor as soon as we pass New Years.

Last year, we had a white Christmas. We weren't planning on any changes to our decorations for this year, until a walk through Michaels last week led me to the most gorgeous light green ornaments. Immediately, my mind was racing with ideas. I would love to keep our white theme going, but add in some more touches of green.

Besides using green ornaments, there are some goregous ideas out there on how to incorproate other green touches.

We love having our tree up for Thanksgiving, which means I only have to wait for another 2-3 weeks before I can start decking the halls! I can't wait!

So what about you? When do you like to put up your holiday decor?
