My sister came down for Halloween, and by the end of her trip…the tree was up! 😆🎄 Sometimes all you need is an extra set of hands—and a little borrowed Christmas spirit—to get yourself into gear. Oldest sisters just have a way of doing both so well. We grew up in a home where Christmas was pure magic. To this day, we still talk about getting the “Christmas tingles” and how we can’t wait to do all the festive things together. One thing our parents did so beautifully was tradition. Year after year, they carved out moments that stuck with us—shaping the kind of memories we now want to give our own kids. As a parent, I see now just how much love, time, and sacrifice that really takes. It wasn’t just about the decorations—it was about legacy. And I’m so grateful that even now, we get to keep creating those memories together. ❤️ @smithtribe5 - ChristmasAtHome | SisterTraditions | FamilyMemories | KindredHomestead | MakingHomeMagical | ChristmasTreeDecor | HolidayNostalgia | HomeForTheHolidays | ChristmasDecorInspo | CozyHomeVibes | OldHomeLove | SeasonalDecor | MerryAndBright | TraditionsMatter | CreatingHome | ChristmasWithFamily | HolidayMagic | HeirloomHome | LivedInHome | ClassicChristmas | ChristmasStyle | TisTheSeason | DecoratingTogether | SimpleHolidayJoy | ChristmasTimeIsHere
