~ A True Christmas ~
October 16th, 2017 by Holly McMillen
Ten. That’s the number of weeks until Christmas. Christmas is going to look a little different in our family this year. It’s going to be about giving (to others outside the family). Our family has exploded in numbers over the last two years and none of us are keen on the idea of going into debt. Besides, the grandbabies are going to start arriving in January and well, next Christmas will be about them.
I only need a couple more Christmas cards to be ready for this year, but I’m going to have to look into making some decor type things between now and December.
This week, we’re going old school Christmas colors. Tradition. I love tradition.

I’m pretty well known for stepping out of the box for Christmas card colors. I’ve done pink, black, brown, purple and even orange.
I covered the white and green snowflakes with stickles. They sparkle like nobody’s business.
