X-MAS DECORATION

I have decided on not having a Christmas tree this year. At least not a real one. We have recently painted the entire house. downstairs it is now completely white with a light grey floor. We love the serenity of it and have left our walls empty, for now. It just didn't feel right to hang our artwork up again, we first wanted to enjoy the whiteness. Hence we also didn't want to put up a tree in the house and choose for some alternative ways to decorate the house and make it Christmasy. The tree is filled with artwork the childeren have made over the last year at daycare and fit in perfectly with the white, black and gold theme I have this year. Except one but who cares...
