It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I just wanted to share my Christmas Decorations, well at least my mantle and my tree :)




I love my mantle...it makes me happy to look at it! I found the candle holders at a local store, Tweed, here in Richmond and I love them. I had bought the candles (they're shimmery) from Crate & Barrel a couple years back and just never really had the right place for them...I think I finally found it :)

And, my tree! I decided to change my tree up this year...for the past 4 years i've gone with black/white/silver and this year I decided to go with red, lime green, white and silver and I love it! I found some ribbon with red and lime green polka dots and my aunt made the bow/streamers for the tree. I just love looking at it. There's nothing like having Christmas decorations up...they just make everything feel extra homey :) I hope your homes feel as warm and cozy as mine does at Christmas time!

(Please ignore all of the extension cords hanging...I don't know a better way to do it!)

What am I doing tonight, you ask?

Right now I'm relaxing on the couch, drinking my celebratory hot chocolate and being SO thankful that my HUGE project for my Community Health class is DONE DONE DONE!!!!! 8 weeks, community assessments, windshield surveys, a health fair, evaluations, 102 powerpoint slides and a presentation later it's over. Still waiting on the grade, but everything we could do is done! So, I'm going to sit here and watch tv (and work on stats hw, bleh) and enjoy my favorite hot chocolate!!! A final on Monday and then it's onto my last semester of Nursing School and I can hardly believe it! I can't wait to enjoy my 3 weeks off...it might actually feel like Christmas this year!
