I am a self-proclaimed admitted Scrooge. Christmas really started to have joy for me when I became a parent, and now that my kid is here, the holidays are blissfully magical. For my dark-hearted emo self, green and red Christmas decor just doesn’t do it for me. But this year, “modern christmas decorations” are a thing, and I don’t think I could be any more obsessed.
Buffalo plaid seems to be the reigning theme this year, and frankly, people, I am here for it.
