My favorite holiday tradition is sewing pajama pants for my siblings and opening them on Christmas Eve. It’s tons of fun drawing names for each other, picking out the fabric, and sewing pajamas in secret. My siblings always tease me because I tend to procrastinate my sewing until the day of Christmas Eve. But it always gets done in time. :) This year my husband is going to join the tradition, so it will be fun to include him as well!

Hello everyone! Yes, it is that time of year again where all the stores put out all that good and glittery home decor, knit stockings, and ornaments galore! Every year I love to set up the Christmas tree and adorn my walls with as much decor as possible. To answer your question, yes, I am one of those crazy holiday decorators. I have definitely gone overboard in prior years during the holidays, and this year is no exception. Slowly, but surely, I am incorporating my hoard of Christmas decor and little trinkets all over the house. 

For me, the holidays are a time to go big or go home, and I definitely will splurge that money to do so! One of these days I will certainly have to extend my crazy holiday decor from the interior of the house to the exterior, as I have yet to experience the joy of hanging thousands of twinkling lights along the rooftop. 

My question for y'all, of course, is to what extent do you consider to be a "crazy" display of holiday cheer? I am dying to know what limits everyone places on their holiday spirit and/or holiday decorating budget. Are you a Grinch or a Cindy Lou Who?

Happy Holidays Y'all :)

Who doesnt love Christmas. Though Christmas was not part of our tradition, I love it so much. It brings happy vibes around. I would go to my friends place who had this big , decorated, lit up christmas tree. I always get so much happy to seeing it. Would stop at big shops or malls just to admire this tree. Since childhood, I have always wanted to have one too at our house. I wanted to decorate it. But my dad never showed any interest. In general he is a very simple person, no big celebration or a surprise-loving kinda person.

My birthdays at home would be mostly like visiting temple and mom used to make sweets and all the special food that we like and we eat together. We don't cut cakes at home. Those days going to a restaurant was rare to us. So on spl days we might go out for dinner as a family. 

I know I came from talking about Christmas to my birthday for a reason. My birthday is in December and on 2014 for my birthday, my dad and mom together planned a beautiful surprise for me and trust me I had no clue about it. Not even a bit of doubt. We live in same house and I don't know how he managed to hide those things from me. 

They got me a small but cute christmas tree and a big star to hang at the center of the house, a baskets full of flowers and a basket full of my favourite chocolates. My mom gave me handmade birthday card for me. It was soo beautiful and I loved it. I still have it. They hid the cake from me, decorated the living rooms with balloons and lights and when it was 12:00 , they asked me to come out of my room and I was surprised to see all of these. I never expected them to throw me a surprise that too like this. My friends always tried hard to surprise me for my birthday but somehow I end up knowing it, always. But this is truly one of the best surprises till now that I would like to cherish. So I had a beautiful start of birthday with the lovely christmas vibe that year.
