There are those who have called me the Queen of Christmas decorations.  I have half a storage unit full of Christmas coolness:  different colors and heights of trees, strings of lights, stunning, vintage gold balls that my great Aunt Suzy willed me, one-of-a-kind thrift store finds of retro pieces that plug in and illuminate, Hunter's sweet ornaments from when he was in K-2nd grade (priceless!) and boxes and boxes of many other treasured Christmas pieces.

This year, I down sized as far as how much I put up.  Although downsized it's still super pretty and memories smile as I pass the decorations and lights throughout the house.

I love this time of year.  An undeniable, irresistible magic.

Here's the fun list of 12 for this grand Monday.  Enjoy!
