Luxe Living for Less
Happy Christmas Eve! I figured it was about time to post our holiday decor 😉 We’ve been enjoying the holidays unplugged this year, it’s been nice to enjoy life in the moment. I didn’t feel the need rush to get the house picture perfect for Christmas this year, but took the time to slow down and enjoy the season a bit more than usual.

We’re gearing up for a cookie exchange party over here! Have you been to one before? It’s pretty amazing. All the homemade, delicious cookies you can imagine. I love a good cookie exchange, because I get to try different cookies that I usually make at home.
Here are a couple of tips I’ve learned over the years to help make your party a success.
This time around I had the kids help out and decorate the shortbread and gingerbread cookies. Gotta love the enthusiasm, right? World Market made it pretty easy on us by offering ready-made shortbread, along with frosting and sprinkles. I also picked up this gingerbread gnome kit. Because the more the merrier right? World Market literally had everything I needed for the party. I love it when you can everything done in one shopping trip!!
We always buy fresh Christmas trees. It makes it hard to live the life of a blogger though, since bloggers start decorating for Christmas earlier and earlier these days!
Nothing compares to a fresh cut tree though. I visit the same tree lot year after year because they have my beloved silver tip trees. We usually just have them put a stand on there and bring it home, and we did that this year too, but it’s just not standing straight. Plus, I can never get my tree collar to fit around it – I didn’t want to have to trim off 2 layers of branches either. So…I figured it was time to invest in a legit Christmas tree stand.
I wanted one that functioned as well as it looked and was reasonably priced. For some reason that was tall order. I finally found one that worked! I ordered it and it should be here tomorrow. I figured I’d share what I found in case you all are looking too!
