I get less festive as I get older I have a dream of having a totally nerdy Christmas tree with ornaments of all of my favorite things like Firefly and Harry Potter and book and cat ornaments and just an overall fantastic Christmas decoration spread.

We really went all-out in my family when I was a kid. My mom would shop for rustic santas, have us collect pinecones to put into decorative bowls with spices and potpurri to make the room smell like Christmas, would spray-paint paper mache reindeer and cut and make dozens of tiny Christmas ribbons to tie onto the glass orb hooks. Lots of ribbon and pinecones and forest-y rustic decor. We were big on Christmas decorations then and I miss it. I'll pick up the festivity again someday when I have more space!
