I'm thankful I've finally gotten into somewhat of a holiday mood, I remember in the last few years holiday home and tree decorating seemed like a torture to me rather than a fun activity. I'm so thankful holiday spirit has finally got a hold of me! The fact that I got inspired enough to come up with a fun idea to decorate my very own tree must be a very good sign. I'm so ready for 2010 now! So, my Xmas tree is a coffee tree - decorated with coffee machine coffee sachets and actual coffee beans and a home made star shaped cookie on top of it!
P.S. For your information: In Russia, where I'm from and still reside, we don't celebrate Catholic Christmas and our main winter holiday is New Years. The New Years Eve tradition is basically the same as that of 25th of December in Europe and USA. With that being said, my tree might be a last minute thing, but it's not late for celebration.

Thank you everyone!! I'm really really glad you all like it, especially so since it's my first attempt at actually designing a tree :)
ReplyDeleteGroppy, yes, right now it's fairly chilly, we're in winter :) But we have all 4 seasons so during summers it gets hot too. And thanks for your kind words!
