Christmas time for S and I was once a time when we went back to visit our respective families in opposite states. It then became a time to visit Hampden for the holidays, and to pick out the best fake Christmas tree ever, Dustin, from the Walmart in Towson.
These days we've eased into traditions, and it's our third Christmas with Sir Dustin. O the Cat helped us "decorate" the tree by wrestling with all the ornaments and otherwise making it a festive chore. S and I cheerfully added a brand new ornament, a sailboat from our Cape Cod adventure this October, to the branches.
There's something really special about a holiday when you can look out your window, all aglow with the tree bulbs and the candles you've put out, and see the shiny lights of your neighbors all up too. It's these things I will take away from decorating for the holidays this year.
Here are just a few pictures from S's and my fourth Christmas season together and our first in our new home in New England!
The overall look - reindeer, table setting, and of course, Dustin, our Christmas tree.
The tiny hidden touches, like a poinsettia embellishment mixed in with everyday decor. 
Our tree, with ornaments full of memories, handmade touches, and the perfect star on top!
Happy Holidays!!!
