She&#8217;s up and she&#8217;s a beauty! Hello, Christmas! :) I LOVE putting up the tree and playing some classic Christmas songs while doing it. We got this beauty up last night and it makes me happy every time I look at it. It&#8217;s such a treat and warms up the whole house. Love all her sparkle and shimmer and everything.

I have the week off with Chris to do baby errands (it truly feels like a never-ending list) and Christmas shopping &#8211; it&#8217;ll be busy but nice! <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7601edited.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas decor, christmas tree, holiday decor\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7601edited.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7601edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7601edited-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7601edited-624x624.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alright, onto <span style=\"color: #f7999b;\">DECOR TIPS:<\/span><br \/>\n1. If you have a small space for a tree, slim trees are so key! (Not a short tree, a SLIM tree!) It could be tempting to just get a small overall tree but you can get away with a skinny tree and still get the glory of the height :). A short, small tree just does not look or feel the same.<\/p>\n<p>2. Tree skirts are generally a miss for me. I don&#8217;t tend to love the designs that I&#8217;ve come across and quite frankly, they&#8217;re just too large in diameter that it would not fit in our small tree space. So instead, I found us a holiday throw\/blanket and used that to wrap around the base of the tree. Works like a charm!<\/p>\n<p>3. Lastly, the ornaments. This can become an obsession very quickly because they&#8217;re just too. darn. pretty. We got most of ours from Canadian Tire and maybe a few from Homesense and then I had to block it out of my mind to keep me from buying a gazillion. :) <\/p>\n<p>Before buying your ornaments, you have to decide on a colour scheme. For us, we chose silver and gold with brown\/wood-like accents. After that, it&#8217;s pretty much just picking the shapes and figures you like and love. Ah, so much fun!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it from me for now! I&#8217;m going to get back to watching Love Actually &#8211; best Christmas movie ever. I&#8217;ll be back in December for a baby bump update! <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shopthislook.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNOMA Carlton Pre-Lit Slim Christmas Tree &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadiantire.ca\/en\/pdp\/noma-carlton-pre-lit-slim-christmas-tree-7-ft-1515607p.html#srp\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Tire<\/a><br \/>\nTree Skirt (Blanket) &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/homesense.ca\" target=\"_blank\">Homesense<\/a><br \/>\nMisc.
