There are so many party styling and decor schemes aimed directly at Christmas or Hanukkah but today I thought I'd share a way to decorate for the holidays without being specific to just one. The holidays are a time of family, friends, warmth, festivities, and one of my favorite things...sparkle! So I put together a simple way to add festive holiday decor to your home.

I just love the illustrations, the soft colors, and the sweet little boy in it. With ...
