It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Our First Christmas, Take 2)

So, Joe and I celebrated our "first" Christmas as a married couple last year, but it was a harried, no-nonsense Christmas, since I was crazy at work and going to school, and Joe was working retail. Ick. This year, we slowed down and actually decided to celebrate Christmas at our house, not just at our respective parents' houses. Today we bought a tree, some trimmings, and went to work on our own little Christmas.


Joe set up the tree and fluffed out all the branches.


He's a good fluffer!


The finished tree!


This rock nativity belonged to my parents. It is one of the Christmas things that I love and brings back memories of my childhood.


This nativity was given to me by Barb, a mentor of mine at the church I interned at my last year of college.

I love Christmas.
