In 3 days I will be packed up and headed to the beach to spend Christmas with my family. I can hardly WAIT so I wanted to share our beach house Christmas decor! 

When we lived in Virgina, we had a traditional tree with our handmade childhood ornaments covered in red and green but when we put that tree up last year it seemed a little out of place. So December 26th, 2013, we dashed out the door and scored some seriously good deals to build this years tree!

Don’t get me wrong, I love the tree full of memories (and maybe next year we can put up two) but this beachy tree is a perfect fit! We also decked the stairwell with garland and of course starfish and sand dollars. We tied the blue ornaments in with wire to add some color!

I went to bed before 9 last night because I have been so sleeply lately…but I am glad to say that I woke up this morning completely recharged! I have been watching Christmas movies all morning…Santa Buddies was actually quite good and had me in tears! 

And Athur’s Christmas was adorable, too.
