family is very important to me and one of my favorite things to do during christmas is look through old family photographs. the pictures are always the highlight of the night. we laugh at our embarrassing school pictures, dad's wardrobe in the 70s and reminisce on the good ol' days. well, for this year i'm going to do something a little different. i'm going to select a few new and old photos and display them in glass jars and scatter them on my table as a centerpiece.
i also love these ideas from {sweet paul}. family photo wrapping paper, gift tags and personalized cupcakes are also great ideas for decorating during the holidays.
what is your favorite thing to do during your holiday dinner?
These ideas are so neat! I love all the photo projects you have shared in this post! I think I will have to steal some photographs when I visit my parents. Those cupcake toppers would be hilarious & perfect for their anniversary party!
ReplyDeleteI love wrapping the gifts! I put on some holiday music and go to town! To me, the giving is the best part...tho the receiving's not too bad either! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this post! What great ideas if you plan to do a family reunion or even a memorial service. Sorty to ge sad there. But it's a great idea. :) As for holiday dinner, I guess eating it is the best part! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! Photos are one of my favourite ways to look back on the past. The tree adhorned with old photos in Sweet Paul was perfect.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
These ideas are wonderful! I love the wrapping paper and gift tags! My Grandma would be all over this!
ReplyDeleteJust to be able to spend Christmas with my close family is a true blessing to me... and my favorite part of this season. To buy them presents, to set the table for meals, to decorate, to have fun with the kids.... can't wait for this weekend ;))
ReplyDeleteTruly adore this. That top idea is my fave. Love, Chris. Absolutely love.
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT ideas, they're absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeletei love the idea of this, i have seen them done in several ways, especially for a bride who has lost a loved one...it seems like such a special way to remember them.
ReplyDeleteLoving all of this, especially those gift tags!
ReplyDeleteI love the old photos too! But I must say, I think my favorite thing to add to the table is candles, lots and lots of candles. Candlelight just makes everything seem magical.
