better late than never? christmas edition

Yes, I am just getting around to posting these. And I'm not even guilty. Muhaha.

Christmas was pretty great this year. We travelled down to Long Beach/ Laguna for the holidays so I didn't want go overdo it on the decorations since we weren't going to be home. I still wanted a festive feel, and most importantly, the house had to smell like Christmas trees. Rather than getting a great big one and trying to squeeze it into our teeeeeny apartment, I got discarded branches from the Christmas tree lot and put them in vases all around the house.  

Branches: $0 
House smelling like fairy wonderland Christmastime: $Priceless.
