Some Nuggets of Holiday Cheer...


Our dear Christmas tree. The poor thing was quite a leaner, but lovely nonetheless. 


I found this wreath at Target and had to have it. It's currently still hanging on my closet door, as I haven't the heart to take down all my Christmas decorations in my room yet. You can also see me awkwardly contorted to take the picture in the reflection. Hello, self! 


The very tippy-top of my mini Christmas tree. 


A little snowflake ornament thing hanging on my window. I thought I'd snap a picture of it looking so nice in the twinkle lights and whatnot. Originally, I had planned to hang several of them along with some silver sparkly icicles from my ceiling, but we never got around to it. *sigh* It would've been awesome though.  


My family and I have a tradition of going to our favorite restaurant, Brennan's, on Christmas Eve. Every year they give away these lovely bells to whoever comes in on Christmas, and we've amassed quite a collection over the years. This is one from this year that we hung on our tree, but usually we have them hanging all on our stair railing.  


My puppy, chilling on Mommy-Dearest's lap like she owns the place. As per usual. 


PRESENTS!!! 


The Chrismas-y set up of my dresser. That adorable little snow-lady was hand crocheted by my great-grandmother and passed down to us. How cute, right? 


Our mantle. Sans stockings. (We took them down quite quickly to eat the candy inside). 


Another Christmas-y shot. 


Me, dive-bombing my dad for a picture and being goofy. He rarely poses for pictures, so a surprise attack was my only option. Love that man. 


My bookshelf setup. How festive. 


This is one of my favorite ornaments. It's always been my job to put it on the tree since I was a kid, and I still do it to this day. Traditions!


My brother "mysteriously" disappeared as soon as I started taking photos, so in his place I'll put Snoop Dog. Somehow it works, don't judge. 

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday. I certainly did. Merry Christmas all!

Stay Fabulous! (Stay Festive)

I'm on BlogLovin' Now!




<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11434065/?claim=vynqtbws5hk">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Hooray!
What is BlogLovin' you ask? It's a wonderfully handy site/app that lets you follow and find all the blogs you love in one place.

One of my favorite things to do after a long day is sit back and catch up on my favorite blog reading (check out Nadia Aboulhosn and Tanya Burr-- they're amazing) and BlogLovin' makes it really easy. I know this sounds like some cheesy sponsored post, but I promise it isn't! I just really like it!

They've also got mobile apps for both iPhone and Android (which you can find here and here) for all the busy girls (or guys) on the go out there.

Also, from the point of view of a blogger on BlogLovin', it is SO EASY to use. Lemme tell ya, I am not a computer savvy individual, but they really make it so easy to learn new things about how to make your blog more professional and grow your audience. Seriously, I just edited my own HTML up in here with their help and I've NEVER been able to understand that craziness. So if you're a blogger too, just sign up for a (free) BL account, then follow these easy instructions here.

So come on now! Get your sparkly little booties on over there and start scrollin'!

And don't forget to follow me when you get there ;)

Stay Fabulous!
-Rachel
