MERRY

HO

At this time of year, words like … relaxed  … laid back … simple … easy going…well  … they are quite simply the best words evvah.

FAVE words, really.

Dude, life can be a crazy straw.  It’s especially crazy during holiday times.

We all need to hit the rewind button every now and again.

Ahhh, keep it simple

Keep it simple

Why not have an easy going Christmas this year?  Getting organized for Christmas can already start to feel like you’re herding cats.   There’s such a massive build up, it can sometimes cause a massive lunch bag let down.

Huge expectations.

Too many plans and not enough hours in a day.  It can make you weak in the knees, just thinking about it.

Not this year.  It’s not going to happen to YOU.   Together, we are going to keep it simple.

NEED SOME INSPIRATION?

{ for going green and keeping it simple }

Christmas time can just creep up on you outta nowhere.

It happens.

You waittttt for it.  Right?!  You really waaiiiiiiiiiiit for it.

Then.  Suddenly.  It’s here.

It happens that fast.

For Canadians, the snow is already here.

Snow = Holiday season

Snow always makes me want to punch a snowman in the face.

But, in the spirit of MERRY, I thought I’d share some festive snow snow ho ho with you…

The only way to truly get through this season enjoyably, is to try with all your might to keep it simple.

The best way I could think of to start off this holiday season was to keep it really straight forward.

 I decorated everything with natural greenery and twinkle lights.

I started with the treehouse.

{{ Psssst.  You don’t need a treehouse to do this.}}

HOW can you do it?  

Search for green branches and twigs.  Look in your backyard.  Look in your neighbours backyard.  I’ll bet you a zillion dollars that there’s something green in there that you can use for your holiday decor.

I’m hoping it’s pine trees.  Not weed.

*insert big toothy grin*

Wait.

Never mind.

I digress.

This stuff  is all around you.  It’s natural.  It’s real.

‘Have clippers will travel’  Just travel around your neighbourhood.  Clip your neighbours trees.  They won’t notice a few twigs missing.   Clip branches from the side of the road.  There is wild greenery everywhere, my friend.

Everywhere.

If it’s green, clip it.  Shove it in your car.  Drive fast.  Run for the hills.

Get home quick.

Decorate.

I’m so proud of you right now.

Just grab some pine cones, pine branches and anything that even remotely looks green.

Go with it.  Maybe even some red twigs.

Get creative!

Price = Free.

Grab a branch here.  Snag a branch there.

Solved.

Christmas decorating, au naturale.

Who needs  a treehouse?  You only need a tree (and a few of its branches)

This style of Christmas is not only affordable,  it feels good.  Because, as long as you feel good, the rest are just details.

You’ll find that a simple Christmas with soft lights and greenery will just light you up.

The grand shinanegans of wildly plastic neon ornaments and bright flashing lights can potentially wind you up.  Don’t go there.

We need to wind it down.

You don’t need change-the-world holiday goals. You just need enjoy your world holiday goals.

Make your holiday goals to be a time to ….

Chill it.

Enjoy it.

Live it.

Get back to the ahhhh feeling of Christmas.

Not gonna lie, the setting of a treehouse makes it pretty easy to decorate with natural greenery, twigs and pine cones.

No worries, remember, you definitely don’t need a treehouse to pull off that kind of ho-ho-ho season.

Anyone can do this natural greenery decor.

Anyone.

Yes, that’s you.

The greenery.  The natural stuff.  The real deal.  It’ll make you gasp.  It’s THAT pretty.

Simple.

Unless you are an elf.  Be an elf if you are an elf.
