Beach Christmas!

Living in sunny SoCal has really hampered my ability to kill my own Christmas tree this year. I’m super excited about what I did find though: Living Christmas Tree, a tree rental company! They drop ‘er off and pick ‘er back up, all you gotta do is keep ‘er alive (um, easier said than done, I need to buy more ice).

Behold!

Magazine paper chains, a few ornaments, and mostly, beachy DIY ornaments! So stoked on the tree topper, a starfish I found dead on the jetty the day I got the tree delivered. It’s the only one I’ve even seen in the 10 months I’ve lived here … Christmas miracle!

The shells are painted with gold glitter paint inside and out, and I hot-glued ribbon to their insides.

Christmas tree + stockings … magic!

PS: SO. MUCH. FUNNY. “Santa will never leave you.” / “Calories don’t count when you’re sad.” / “You can also, you know, make it into future shapes…”
