I Want My House To Look Like This For Christmas

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine.

I found this picture of a Holiday decorated table on the Pier 1 website.  Doesn't it look festive?  I can't decide if I like the bows on the chairs or the hanging snowmen plates the best.  Or maybe those adorable peppermint candy candle holders.  I absolutely adore the ball wreath under the cake plates for a centerpiece.  I would never think of that on my own, but I am definitely going to remember that idea for my table at Christmastime.

For the first time in three years, my mom is doing the holiday entertaining in her own home.  For the past two years she was in apartment that was too small for all of us, so my sister hosted the Holidays.  It's going to be nice to watch my mom host all us kids again.  To me, that is what the Holidays are about.  Being with family.  And all the decorations!
We plan on putting up our tree this weekend and decorating our house.  This is our first Christmas here, so I'm not exactly sure where things will go.  Brandi asked me the other day where we will hang our stockings, which reminded me that we need new stocking holders.  The ones I have used for the past few years were from the dollar store, and they aren't very pretty.  I love all things whimsical at Christmas, and I found these stocking holders at Pier 1 that are so me.  What do you think?

Cute, right?  I really think these would look great in my house.
Pier 1 is a drop off point for Toys For Tots, which I think is pretty awesome.  During November and December you can drop off an unwanted toy at any Pier 1 store, or even make a cash donation at the register.  Also, for every "like" they get on Facebook, they will donate one dollar to Toys For Tots.

So what are you waiting for?  Go like them, and see what Christmas goodies you can find to decorate your home with for the Holidays.

Oooooh Christmas conversations, lol! Love it! I just (about 5 minutes ago) bought a new tablecloth on eBay that I can use for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, which we host annually. I love getting the house ready and making it feel all cozy inside as the weather gets colder outside!

I love Pier 1. I could redo my whole house just in that store.
