A Kickoff To Christmas

The month of December has become a month of pure straight "Christmasing" for Chris and I.  During this month we have found ourselves immersed in all things Christmas.  It's great, but boy it can be exhausting.  Since we have to account for our trip home to Idaho every year we really cut our time short on accomplishing all the traditions that we have set for ourselves in our home.  Between Christmas tree decorating, shopping for presents, then wrapping all said presents, to baking all sorts of Christmas goodies, and watching all of our Holiday favorites, we still had a company Christmas party to host, and this year we decided to add a little extra stress to our lives by also hosting a Christmas party for all our friends before we all headed our separate ways for the Holidays.  

Things can quickly turn stressful and at times we may question why we put ourselves through that kind of pressure, but then after all is said and done we quickly realize why we do it.... because it is just so worth it.  

I don't have many pictures of our "Kickoff to Christmas" but here are the few I have:
 Our Company Party was pretty much the same as last year with just a few small tweaks.  One of which was the simple decorations.  But what you can't really see is the snowflakes that we had hanging from the ceiling.  It was a really subtle thing but it was so pretty.
Here I am getting the popcorn garland made up for the tree.

I know that is a lot of pictures of our Christmas tree, but I think it is one of the prettiest things ever and quite frankly it just makes me happy.
