Holiday Design and Your Own Home  

Noel
I thought it was the one time of the year where design and style goes out the window!

We take a very minimalist approach, at Casa Caulfield

way too many
Caulfield.......that's way too may pine needles on that tree...it needs stripping back a little for sure!

Haven't decorated yet...
but it's pretty minimal at Casa Olive too. No one in my family celebrates any of the traditional religious holidays of this time of year, we're more of a Winter Solstice kind of crowd. So the decorating tends to be in the bushes and trees catagory...

We're a bunch of grumpy athiests and Jews
But, we do have a soft spot for traditional holiday television fare: Boris Karloff's rendition of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", and "It's A Wonderful Life".

DudeDah, looks great. Love the cacti and succulents.

Jesgord,

The girls and one of their friends just finished up...Not what I would have gone with...but red and gold is nice 😉

Thanks jesgord,
I love that tree of yours.
The cacti and succulents thing is a new hobby, a lot of fun, just wished we lived somewhere they could grow outside year-round. I know there are cold-hardy varieties but it's just not the same.
