The prettiest Christmas things.

There’s a few Christmas things that I truly look forward to pulling out every year. Ones that delight me in their simplicity, their beautiful design, or their perfect purpose. We have this beautiful metal Norwegian Santa Claus given to us by a dear friend of ours that we hang on the tree, or the Advent candle wreath that I put in the center of the table and place greens around. Or how about the Giving Manger, which has become such a sweet and simple way to redirect your children’s minds to what Christmas is really about amidst the flurry of Amazon packages and making wish lists. (I really love the Giving Manger.)

I just was scrolling Instagram and practically gasped when I saw an ad go by (I usually ignore them!) for Heirloom Art Co. It was a video, with a few brass anglaspels all lit and chiming lightly on a mantle. It means angel chimes, which only makes them more special. The video conjured such a cozy, nostalgic, Christmasy feeling. Instagram actually did me a solid here. This Heirloom Art Co. is full of precious items that are sure to be, well, heirlooms. The things you will pull out, year after year, and treasure. I’m in love with all of them (look at this advent calendar! or this Noah’s Ark in a box! ), but I reigned myself in and just bought one Swedish anglaspel. Can’t wait to hear the nightly chiming when it arrives.

Any Christmas decorations that are so meaningful to you or any special shops I should know about?
