I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, one full of warmth and good food. I know I definitely gained a few pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas with all the delicious food sitting in front of me. With the holiday season coming to a close, I took down my Christmas tree last weekend. Before I packed everything away, I wanted to savor the tree with all its decorations. I know this isn't really fashion related but I want to share my decorations and holiday history.
The Gifts
My friends have long since figured out my affinity for glass and glass blowing. This was a beautiful gift that I will hang on my tree for years to come.
A gift from my roommate- not only pretty but delicious. I popped the lid open and found delicious Lindt truffles.
College pride!
This is actually less of a gift and more of a prize. My friend hosts her Christmas party every year and it's tradition to do an ornament exchange. This year she imposed a $3 max budget. To up the incentives for finding a great ornament for a low price, the person whose ornament was voted the favorite would win this prize.
The Most Elegant
The Blues
Sparkly. It's very simple but has a big effect when the tree is all lit up.
This one is my favorite. I hang it in a prominant spot year after year.
The Most Adorable
In high school I was part of the recycling club. To raise money, one year we made these for Valentine's Day. Not only were they works of art, but it was eco-friendly.

The Homemade
Years ago, when we didn't have a collection of ornaments, I made origami cranes and globes to hang on the tree. It took a lot of time but the tree looked great in the end. I still keep a few as a memory of that time. If you want a low budget but big effect Christmas tree, definitely try it. It just takes a lot of time and wrapping paper.In high school I was part of the recycling club. To raise money, one year we made these for Valentine's Day.
