The Christmas Tree Trend Everyone Should Embrace...Christmas Decorating

The Christmas Tree Trend Everyone Should Embrace…

December 1, 2015 By Jenna 54 Comments

I’ve never been one to follow trends.

In fact, I think trends are overrated.

There. I said it. So sue me.

Yes, trends may be new and pretty, but after a while, once everyone is following the trend, it tends to loose its luster.

There is one trend though, one that in my personal, somewhat educated opinion, I think should make a comeback.

I’m calling it the Meaningful Decorated Christmas Tree Trend.

I should probably come up with a trendier name though.

You see, this trend is never overused and doesn’t lose its luster.

Never ever.

Because the ornaments you place on your tree with this trend are unique and meaningful to only a few people in the world – you and your family.

A Grammy Themed Christmas Tree for Lauren

December 8, 2014 By Jenna 18 Comments

I know what you are thinking.

You are wondering why the girl who throws stuffed animals, barbies, G.I. Joes, glasses, and shoes on her Christmas tree is posting about a Grammy Themed Christmas tree – one that is color coordinated with not a stuffed animal in sight.

A few months back, Dana & Nancy from Forest Home Media in Nashville contacted me. They wanted me to decorate a tree in the theme of a child’s wish – a child that is braver than I ever could be, fighting for their life. Afterwards, the tree would be auctioned off and proceeds would go to Make-A-Wish of Middle Tennessee.

My first thoughts were:

Me? You really want me? Have you seen my Christmas decor? Nothing matches, nothing is themed, its just all a big hot mess that somehow works for us.

But I said yes. Because it was for an amazing cause.

And I started acting like the little engine that could, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.”

When Dana sent the email with the list of kids and their wishes, I knew I could.

One of the kids was a girl.

An 18 year old named Lauren, who has Cystic Fibrosis and her wish is to go to the Grammys. She loves music and playing the guitar.

And if there is anything I love as much as decorating, its music – and little girls like Lauren who are braver than I’ll ever be.
