节日气氛:装饰,蜡烛,小手工,圣诞树。

平时并不中意的大红大绿,嘈杂的音乐,拥挤的人群,在12月都变得可爱起来。不管走到哪里,都是热热闹闹,喜气洋洋。我喜欢这份喜气,所以喜欢过圣诞。

作为first year home owner, 装饰的兴奋劲儿还没消退。圣诞将近,恨不得有仙女挥一挥魔法师棒,整个house立刻变得像童话般的梦幻。8过,心有余而力不足。我们两口子,上学的要考试,上班的特别忙,只到上周才开始圣诞采购.周末折腾了一下,居然也小有成效。我们的家,仿佛飘着12月特有的糖味~。

门口换上颜色鲜艳的doormat, 搬了一颗小圣诞树。

我爱雪人,自己还做了些。Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

用白色craft foam, puffy paint, 和一些绒布就可以做。在foam上画两个不同大小滴,剪下来,用puffy paint画上脸。绒布做帽子和围巾。很简单吧~。

还“试图”做了个姜饼屋,很显然,不是很成功。

重头戏,圣诞树!我想象了好多种theme, 比如只用冰蓝银白两色的球球,点缀闪光的水晶蝴蝶;或者挂满nutcracker soilder;或者。。。
大家都说,圣诞树的装饰不能急,要慢慢collect. 这是我们第一年,来日方长。虽有美好的幻想,也要顾及荷包不是。于是脑中各种唯美华丽的plan都没有实施,咱还是走温馨路线吧。树是在Low's买的,6尺半高。

装饰非常普通,我只买了两小管彩色球球,大多数是自己手工做的绒布心心。

用红绿白的felt, 剪一个大水滴(身体),一个哑铃(耳朵)。水滴中间划两道,把哑铃塞进去。贴上googly eye small pom pom. 反过来,把candy cane装上。(以上材料在michael都可以买到,很便宜)

娃娃雪糕也是手工做的。小靴子正好可以放一块Godiva瘦瘦的巧克力。

顺便显摆一下自己做的手机链~,针脚很细密吧!

所有的装饰都很便宜普通,只有两个比较有意义。
一个是刚买的lenox, 上面写着first year in new home, 2009

虽然觉得花30多块只买一个装饰有点奢侈。但想到今后每次看着这金色的大门,就能回想起第一次买房的兴奋与感动,还是非常物有所值哒。

在top的水晶心虽然并不漂亮,但却是当年LG送我的第一个情人节礼物。
以LG简单的思维,觉得大就是好。害我那时脖子上挂着一个硕大无比的吊坠,一边被勒得生疼,一边被朋友耻笑。。。值得保存的纪念品,呵呵。

再看一眼,装饰真的都很简单。

开了灯,明亮而温暖,挺像回事的。呵呵,明年我们的圣诞树一定会更好!

祝大家节日快乐。
P.S. 节日气氛(二)将focus on 礼物和食物,敬请期待~。
