I love decorating the house for Christmas! I’ve loved it since I was a kid, and I’ve come to love it even more now that I have my own home.
My first Christmas in my very own home was in 2008, the year after I got married and moved to Singapore with my husband.

Fast forward three years later, and… well, I began to think I’d outgrown the packaged set of matching red and gold ornaments we bought in that first holiday frenzy. Our tree started to feel too coordinated, not special: more like a Christmas tree you’d find at a dentist’s office than a tree that could be cherished over the years, growing its roots deep into the memories of our young family.
