I've previously wrote a post about the real tree vs. fake tree debate. I'm 100% on team real tree, but as I discussed in that post, we were going to have a fake tree this year. After Doug read that post and realized how unhappy I was about having a fake one, he said we could get the real one. But in all honesty, as much as I wanted one, it didn't make sense.
So we pulled up Bing Crosby Christmas music (nothing better), popped open a few beers (because that's how we do things in the Gautier household), and pulled out all our decorations. And as we started to put the tree up, hung the wreath I made last year back on the door, and laid out the Christmas table runner, I was just so happy. So content to be in the home I have made with my husband, getting ready to celebrate our second married Christmas.
Holy sappy. But it's true.
Plus, I really love how our apartment looks decorated for Christmas! And since it will likely be our last Christmas in this apartment, I'm embracing it as much as I can.

| I'm actually in love with our tree this year, fake or not. The Christmas place mats and table runner my mom made us last year. Christmas wreath on our front door. Mini Christmas tree, plus a few more decorations. |
I also have to mention that I had quite the blog-tastic weekend. Friday night was the Happy Hour Hangout Original Crew secret Santa. A few hours of video chatting, drinking wine, opening gifts and laughing hysterically. I'm so happy that these women have come into my life and blessed to call them friends.
