Last year was our first year with a real tree and I’m looking forward to making it one of our traditions! It smelled so nice and it was so wonderful to walk past the dining room and see it twinkling in the corner. I can’t wait to take everyone to pick one out again this year.

And as a quick holiday reading recommendation, I loved Christmas at the Island Hotel by Jenny Colgan. Jenny is one of my favorite closed-door romance authors and this one about a Swedish royal heir and a Scottish baker was especially sweet and fun.
