Decorating My Office for the Holidays





Shop The Items:
So I have this thing for mini Christmas trees and I am not really sure why that is, but, each year I seem to acquire one more small tree.  This year, I decided to buy a second mini Pre-lit 4' Tree. I already have this same tree and I put it outside of our front door. One day I'd like to flank our front door with two of these trees, but currently cannot because in our home our door is not centered. 

Anyway, the tree is from Walmart, under $30, and you can't beat it. It's pre-lit and comes in two pieces so it's not only easy to put up but it's easy to store, too. I put this tree in my office! Now that I have this chair in here (I didn't last year), I felt like this spot would look SO cozy with a tree next to it. Once I set it up I was so glad I ordered one. It just gives my office such a nice vibe with the lights on the tree. Love it and it was so easy to do. 
I have this photo of my parents framed on my desk. I can see it as I type this post. I just LOVE this photo of them. It's from when they were first married and lived in an apartment. You can see to the left that they have this mini tree and I just find it to be so charming. So, one more mini tree was added to our home, in inspiration from my parents from the '80s. Also, this Tree would be the perfect apartment tree if you don't have the space for a full-size tree! 

As a total side note, in the photo, I spy a gold photo frame that they still have sitting out. And the nativity under the tree is the same nativity they still use to this day. My mom made it in a pottery class. Also, the angel on the top of the tree is also one they still have to this day. I just love the tradition of the holiday season!! 

Walmart has so many good seasonal decor options on its site! I really like the Packed Party items that are fun and colorful! Like how about this Nutcracker? Darling! I also love to tie ornaments on gifts as a cute way to 'garnish' the package! This ornament is adorable!!! And I'm really getting ahead of myself with this one, but these party horns and these tinsel headbands are SO cute for a New Year's Eve party!

Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Aww, this is lovely! Also, while I am usually firmly of the opinion that the Christmas season does not start before Santa reaches Macy's, with a toddler I inevitably end up forgetting to order something until it is too late! So all these reminders have actually been super, as I've finally managed to get the tree skirt I wanted, the advent calendar I wanted, ordered our Christmas cards, and bought a few small gifts that usually sell out. Yay!
