One of my favorite things to decorate at Christmastime is the hutch in my dining room.
Mostly because I get to open this suitcase…
… which contains all of this.
Nothing says “Christmas” like a suitcase full of shiny baubles.
A few of them end up on our tree, but most of them go into the hutch …
… nestled among the dishes and glasses there.
I try to keep the hutch looking classy …
… but sometimes a little kitsch creeps in.
… because, ceramic deer and faux snow.
I love white dishes and shiny ornaments …
… but not nearly as much as I love ceramic deer and plastic snow.
So the hutch ends up being a marriage of classic …
… and kitschy.
