25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style - Day 1: Stag Party

Hey, hey, hey! It's December 1st and you know what that means... 25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style is back, baby! I've got some pretty awesome goodies lined up for this year and I'm super excited to share them with you.

First up, STAG PARTY! I know when you hear the phrase "Stag Party" you don't instantly think of Christmas. More so strippers, stale booze and cigarettes. But if you're from the Portland area, you will know the event that tells me the Christmas season has officially begun... 

The Portland Oregon White Stag turns into Rudolph for all of downtown to see and enjoy. I don't care how many times I pass that sign, I always look and I always get a little giddy. Speaking of giddy, the little deer below are too much. I'd like one of each, pretty please.

25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style - Day 2: Christmas Trees

I love Christmas Trees. The holiday decor just doesn't look done until the tree is up and decorated. I'm a Noble Fir gal myself, but that doesn't mean I'm opposed to a more alternative version of the holiday favorite. Small apartments, allergies and pets are all reasons that the traditional tree may not work for some people. Or hey, maybe you just want to try out something different. I searched the interwebs and found a few for you.

Lacking free floor space? Utilize your ceiling and hang one or both of these fun mobiles.

This prelit twig tree saves space and time with the lights already attached.

Another version of the whimsy tree, sans lights.

When one tree just isn't enough, go for the set of six.

Twist and turn this baby and create the design you're looking for.

Throw together this DIY cardboard tree quicker than a trip to the tree lot.

Scraps from the nursery. Cheapest Christmas Tree I've ever seen.

 Merry Christmas!

25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style - Day 13: Holiday Interiors

I dream of a home during the holidays that look like these photos. I would totally change out furniture, drapes, artwork, rugs, whatever to create the warm feeling these have. It will be so. Oh yes, it will be so.

I've said it before, but the Home Alone set is the perfect example of a home being decorated to feel like Christmas. From the wallpaper and paint, to the rugs, to the counter tops and bedding. Awesome job, John Hughes. I'll pour a little eggnog out for you this holiday season.

25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style - Day 2: Holiday Decor Crafts

Can you feel it? The crafting itch that is getting worse and worse as the days pass by. Now, I'm a crafter by nature. I've always got projects in the works, but this time of year really kicks me in to overdrive. I think of it as the crafter's  equivalent to women who get baby fever when they spend time with a little one. Good thing I have lots and lots of awesome craft ideas to keep me busy. Now I just need to find the time to for all of them. Below are a few that I've been eyeing...
