Decorations Galore

It's that time of year again! We are bringing boxes up from storage, planning recipes, and decorating our house for the holidays. Yesterday, my family and I were feeling especially in the holiday mood. We brought up bin after bin of decorations and spent hours deciding where to put them all and what looked best where. We put up four garlands, brought out two nutcrackers and watched three years worth of past Christmas home videos. It's always fun to see our reactions to presents we got when we were little. One year when I was 5 and my sister was 3, every present was "just what we always wanted". Of course, being sisters, we used to fight over whose doll was whose and it's really funny to go back and watch what presents we opened because at least once per home movie, my sister or I will say, "That was mine!" about a certain toy that the other one claimed.
 
 

This time of year always seems so magical. Even more so right now because of all the twinkle lights! It makes me want to drink hot cocoa, wrap presents, and watch old home videos of Christmases past.

What do you do to decorate for the holidays? What is your favorite holiday home video moment?
