As it comes time to take down the decorations, I wanted to look back on the holiday season from a bookish point of view.
One of my favorite things to do for the holiday season is to decorate my shelves. I first had the idea last year, after I saw someone's decorated shelves on twitter. Last year, my shelves were quite lowkey as I had decorations all over my apartment. This year I moved back to my parent's house, and my shelves are the main focal point of my room so I really wanted to make them shine. I put up tinsel on three different "layers" through the length of the shelves, I put up icicle fairylights at the very top of the shelves to add some mood lighting, and I put random decorations on the shelves themselves, like elves and my Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer candy jar. I also decorated my reading chair by switching in a red throw blanket, a seasonal pillow, and a penguin stuffed animal. To top it all off, I placed my Christmas tree in front of the corner formed by my shelves. I loved how festive the whole area turned out, but at the same time I am ready to take it down and get back to my normal set up now that I've had this up for over a month.
