Christmas merriment all around at the Christiansen house. Taking in good times, and reflecting on everything that matters most.

I took some of my parent's old decorations to adorn my little studio.

This noel door hanger was made by my grandmother's friend.

My elves on the shelf were taking the opportunity to do a little light reading.

My parent's house is always decked out. My dad starts the process in early December. The tree is usually outfitted with old colored lights and a collection of ornaments from generations ago and modern pieces from recent years.

This is little guy burns incense inside and smokes out his mouth.

This is another smokey who lives with the Christmas pines.

Christmas Day was spent with my mom dad and brother, it was a relaxed day full of good food, booze, presents and most importantly, family.

We always start with champagne.

I must have taken this one after a couple drinks. Still, craft made liquor is always a fun addition.

Stockings hung by the fire.

My mom has made stockings for everyone in the family, following a long family tradition.

The day after Christmas, we watched the iconic Charlie Brown Christmas, still one of my absolute favorites.

Merry Christmas!
