For the last couple of years, what with space considerations &etc, we’ve eschewed the christmas decorations at casa donandcarol.

And I’m certain it will come as no surprise that we never did make that utterly fabulous christmas tree.

This year I’m quite taken with this christmassy light fixture, as seen on apartment therapy.

However I know better than to think we would have the space to display (or truth be told, the will to construct) such an item, but it does look quite marvellous.

Our sole token gesture to the season (apart from the exhorbitant amounts of $ spent) is pretty party lights on the balcony (though they’re there all year, so it is no great stretch!)
