Even though my husband and I no longer exchange gifts, I always buy him a new ornament and pair of pajama pants every year for Christmas.  It’s become tradition!  And up until last year, all of those ornaments didn’t have a spot on our Christmas tree.  That’s because our living room Christmas tree is kind of my thing!  Every year, it has a new theme.  So far, none of those themes have included outdoor sports (sorry, boo).    

Last year, I started to feel bad that I had gotten my husband so many ornaments, but he’s never had the chance to hang them on the tree.  So instead of just getting him an ornament for Christmas, I got him his very own Christmas tree!  He was pretty impressed with his early Christmas surprise!

With everything going on this year, I was itching to put up our Christmas tree earlier than usual.  I scratched my itch early last week by putting up my husband’s tree in our dining room!

My husband is quite the outdoorsman.  He loves to fish, hunt, golf, and just be outside!  So the majority of the ornaments I’ve bought him reflect that.  The branches of his tree are hung with holiday ornaments like Santa golfing, hunting snowmen, and several personalized ornaments.

As I was going through my list of holiday posts to write up and schedule, I realized that I’ve never ever – in the five years we’ve had Hunter – put together a Christmas gift guide for dogs!  We have a pretty long list of gifts to buy each year and, every year, I always buy gifts for the family dogs. In past years, I’ve even made homemade dog treats for all of the dogs in the family!

Hunter has an overflowing basket full of toys in the living room, so I try not to buy any new toys for his birthday and holidays.  But it’s kind of hard when there are so many cute dog toys out there (I love the holiday hedgehog on this list)! 

Since Hunter seems to go through treats pretty fast, I’ll buy him a bag or two of Christmas themed treats instead.  If he needs a new essential item, I’ll include that in his gift, too.  There are no complaints from him and it’s so much fun to watch him get excited over his gifts on Christmas morning!

If there’s one show that I have continuously binge watched this year, it’s been Schitt’s Creek. Whenever I’ve needed to laugh or feel the comfort of family – in all of its hilarity and chaos – I’ve turned to the Roses and their journey.  It’s quickly become one of my favorite shows!  So of course I needed some Schitt’s Creek merch! 

I ended up making myself a Rose Apothecary sweatshirt (I basically live in it when it’s cold outside), got myself a big initial necklace like Alexis wears on the show, and most recently bought a “Fold in the Cheese!” wooden spoon engraved with Moira Rose’s face on it.  She just sits pretty in my utensil holder.

These Schitt’s Creek gift ideas will have the fans on your list saying, “I’m obsessed with this” and singing “Fa la la-la la la la, a little bit Alexis!”  Okay, you get the idea.

20 of the Best 2020 Ornaments for Your Christmas Tree

Add a little 2020 humor to your Christmas tree this year with these 2020 ornaments featuring masks, toilet paper, and quarantine jokes!

We’ve almost made it through this crazy year!  As we enter the holiday season, many celebrations will be quarantine style this year (especially with virus cases increasing again).  Even if you can’t be surrounded by family and friends this year, that doesn’t mean that you can’t be surrounded by joy and a little humor!  You’ve just got to make the best of what we’re dealing with!

For me, that’ll be decorating our house and surrounding myself with the warmth of Christmas lights and cozy decorations.  We usually put up the tree and our decorations the day after Thanksgiving.  But since I’m not planning on going anywhere this year, I might actually decorate a little earlier while sipping cocoa and watching Christmas movies! 

When I first started talking about Christmas with my husband, I joked with that I wanted to make a 2020 themed tree.  I told him that instead of Christmas ribbon, I wanted to decorate our tree with a roll of toilet paper instead.  After a quick minute, I said, “Nah! I don’t want to waste toilet paper like that!”

20 of the Best 2020 Ornaments for Your Christmas Tree

 
Instead, I managed to find a bunch of 2020 themed ornaments on Amazon.  Yes, there are a lot of toilet paper ornaments to commemorate the great TP shortage of 2020.  But there are also some other great 2020 ornaments that you can add to your tree this year.

  1. Personalized 2020 Family Ornament
  2. Ceramic Toilet Paper Shortage Ornament
  3. Grinch Social Distancing Ornament
  4. 2020 Year to Remember Ornament
  5. Toilet Paper Roll Ornament
  6. The One Where We Were Quarantined Ornament
  7. Santa Wearing Mask Ornament
  8. Reindeer Wearing Mask Ornament
  9. Merry ChristMASK Ornament
  10. Quarantine Christmas Ornament Set
  11. Santa F-Bombs Christmas Ornament
  12. Oh, Quaran-Tree Ornament
