Christmas in a tiny house…

One of the first (and most) questions I get living in a tiny house is “How do you have a Christmas tree in a tiny house??” or “can you do Christmas in a tiny house??”

I love that the answer is a big YES!!!

Christmas in THE121 is one of my favorite times of the year, when the tree twinkles from my bay windows against the dark backdrop of the forest and the world seems to stand still.

Each year, I feel that Christmas always looks a little different here. Last year I wasn’t home as I was in and out of the hospital recovering from kidney surgery while this year I’m home 24/7 recovering from colorectal surgery. (I can only pray 2025 is surgery free!!)

So this year as I pulled my decorations from the shed and pulled open the boxes, I kind of laughed as it was a culmination of how the year has gone…

I had cleaned my shed out earlier in the summer due to a complete mess the mice had made. Turns out I missed a section!!

As I fluffed out the branches (after a good shake outside) this nest appeared. Atleast they were warm!

And there you have it. The home of the mice. They are evicted now that Christmas has come to THE121. What a laugh and picture of this past year. Pulling out all the things where unwanted residents live, giving them a good shake down (or clean out) and putting them back together again.

So can I have a tree? 100% and I may be biased but I think she’s beautiful.

A few years ago my aunt made me this beautiful lace nativity set and it’s my favorite part of my tree for all it represents.

So while Christmas looks different this year, I’m sitting in the different and sitting with Jesus, adjusting my focus and waiting for Him.
