It’s our first Christmas together ✨

We spent Christmas together last year but we weren’t living together 🥺

We bought our first Christmas tree and we really just wanted something simple but cute 🥰

... Read moreCelebrating your first Christmas together as a couple marks a truly special milestone filled with memories and new traditions. Even if you spent last Christmas together but lived apart, sharing this holiday in the same home amplifies the warmth and intimacy of the season. Many couples opt for something simple yet meaningful when selecting their first Christmas tree, focusing on coziness and personal touches that reflect their unique journey. A minimalist tree decorated with lights, a few favorite ornaments, and handmade decorations can create a charming and inviting atmosphere without overwhelming your space. This approach also allows the focus to remain on the joy of being together rather than extravagant decor. Including sentimental ornaments—perhaps gifts exchanged during your relationship or symbols of key memories—can add emotional depth to your holiday display. Beyond decoration, creating new holiday rituals such as cooking favorite meals, watching a classic Christmas movie, or exchanging handwritten letters can deepen your connection. These intimate practices often become cherished customs for years to come. Remember, the true spirit of this Christmas lies in the shared love and happiness within your home. Whether it's your first Christmas tree or your first year living together, making these simple, heartfelt choices transforms a holiday into an unforgettable celebration of marriage, home, and togetherness.

1st christmas together
This is our 1st Christmas together in our 3rd year relationship. It's because my religion does not celebrate christmas. And since we lived in together now, this is the first ever that we celebrate it together :) ❤️ Especially, with our baby Ash 🤍🐾🐶

Living together before marriage
I know there are a lot of mixed opinions about living together before marriage, but honestly? I can’t imagine waiting until after the wedding to move in together. The first time we lived together was right after high school—though technically, we were still living with my family. Definitely not

Five years ago on Christmas Day, we stood together with nothing but a dream and a prayer.
We had five children, big vision, and faith that felt louder than our circumstances. I remember looking in the mirror back then and seeing possibility. I remember looking around our life and seeing seeds. Today, I looked at that 2020 photo and at first felt sad. I was smaller. Life looked simple
