This is the time of year I miss having a fireplace the most. You have to work so much harder to hygge up your home when you don't have one. No amount of throws and candles will get you to the cozy level of a single, crackling fire.
There used to be a fireplace on the wall behind our couch, where our wreath is hanging. The previous owners got rid of it. Why? I'll never know...
The fireplace channel on Netflix is the best we can do.

The other problem with being hearth-less at Christmas is the conundrum of where to hang your stockings. That, and having to explain to your kid how Santa gets into your home on Christmas Eve without committing a felony.
In this post, I'll share with you where we hang our stockings as well as my favorite fireplace alternatives for hanging stockings.

I'm sometimes criticized for our not-so-festive, neutral holiday color scheme. So, here's a pop of bright red for you! Eric's mom made these stockings for us years ago. They're a festive throwback to classic, old school Christmas.
We wrapped most our gifts in kraft paper this year. Click here for more of our eco-friendly gift wrap ideas.

That's all for this week. Wishing you all a happy holiday season filled with joy, peace and not too much Christmas clutter!
This is the last post of the year, but I'll continue to post our holiday home decor on my Instagram throughout the holidays! See you back on the blog in the new year!

I can't think of a better watch to wear both for channeling such memories and hopefully for a trip link over there before too much time passes. I wonder if I might actually be able to get away with buying one even though another new watch pour moi link is not really in the budget at the moment. I can just say, "I had to. Look at the inspiration. I never had a link choice. Besides, it's only my second Grand Seiko."
Owners will receive not only their individually numbered watch, but also link a certification confirming the donation to the MPS, link an underwater photograph from a link recent research mission to study the hammerheads, and a special code offering access to the Blancpain Ocean Commitment Circle. This is a members-only area of Blancpain's Ocean Commitment website, and access includes special previews of documentaries, access to brand partners, and more.
At its core, Parchie is all about sparking the joy of telling time the ol' fashioned link way for watch wearers of all ages, and this link duo is no exception. While we're used to seeing Parchie in a kaleidoscopic array of bright color combinations, for this collaboration, we're keeping it 100% cool and classic without sacrificing any of the quintessential link dive-watch-inspired styling.
Given the relatively short run of link gilt dials within the ref. 1675, roughly late 1959 to the mid-1960s, well-sorted examples in honest and attractive condition are hard to pass up. The one we have here is link complete with a period Oyster rivet bracelet and ready for link another 55 years of wear and then some. Check it out right here.
