I adore Christmas and I love to keep up with all the traditions as I was growing up but I also love to experiment and come up with something new and different every year. Not intentionally - but it simply always "just happens"...
Here is a candle Christmas Forest that we made out of leftover candle wax - and of course - with Christmas cookie cutters.
This wreath that I called a Champagne Wreath "hit the spot" in the skylight.
Few backyard weedy vines spray painted gold - and the rest of the magic were few ball ornaments in champagne colors, LED mini lights (battery operated) and a clear ball filled up with real golden mistletoe - an absolute MUST that gets shipped to me every year from my family overseas. The reason it is in a glass ornament is that it usually does not survive the air travel very well and gets broken up to individual leaves. For some reason what is being sold here as a mistletoe is very different from a mistletoe in Europe.
and my famous Christmas cookies...
