I celebrated Christmas Eve on the blog with a candlelight tour of my dining room and some scriptures focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. 

Easy New Year’s Eve Decorating Ideas

I still have ALL of my Christmas decorations out but I will be spending the afternoon tidying up and starting to pack some away. I like to keep some bits and bling out for New Year’s celebrations. Here’s an older post with some New Year’s Eve inspo.

I’ve also been looking back at my older winter decorating posts as I begin the transition from Christmas to winter decor. I actually love this time of year as far as decorating goes. So cozy!
