decking the halls and a "j" christmas

today begins a little journey through each of our homes. 
we wanted to share with y'all, our lovely {wefancythat} friends, how we have decked our halls for christmas. decorations serve as a reminder and mental/spiritual preparation of the joyous reason for which we spend so much time trimming the tree, hanging wreaths, placing ornaments, stringing lights, and wrapping presents for the people we love. these things allow us to anticipate the celebration of god's love for us and his ultimate gift... the birth of his son. what an awesome reason to celebrate.
i guess we are going in reverse order, because i am beginning this little home tour series, 
with our teeny-tiny abode. -j

{our little card display right where we can see it...often bc we don't have a dishwasher, ha.
christmas cards are one of my most favorite things, ever}

"from the fullness of his grace, we have all received one blessing after another." john 1:16.
May yours be merry & blessed! love, j
