Thanks for the reminders on the cinnamon ornaments and the fruit tree. May I ask where you bought the garland for your stairs? It’s lovely!
Thank you! I bought them from Magnolia. They’re out of these exact garlands but have some other beautiful options! https://magnolia.com/
Your fruit tree it one of our favorite holiday rituals. We assemble Christmas Eve, start picking from it Christmas morning, and finish off every bite by the evening.
Oh I LOVE to hear that, Marisa! Happy holidays to you and your family!
