it's begining to look a lot like target

The only way I will make it through the holidays without spending money on ridiculous Christmas things like seasonal ziploc bags is if I altogether avoid TARGET and all FIVE Targets in my vicinity.

But maybe I will need seasonal Reynolds Wrap?

 

These would almost be worth the investment to have for every year, it's so pretty:

I freaking love this bare tree canvas and that tree candle tealight holder. I find it more winter than Christmas and I think I could live with the bare tree canvas year round in my office because the images of trees in all their various seasonal forms makes me happy.

I approve of the tree branch things and the advent calendar that's reusable:

The reindeer is almost identical to one I purchased earlier at TJ Maxx for like $6:

Another tree candle holder:

This may be the one big Christmas decoration purchase of the year. It's a sparkly wreath in nice, neutral colors and it has shiny beads. I like shiny and it fulfills my qualification that a wreath not be more than $20:

  Hmm.. seasonal doormat? Nah too much:

 

 Berry wreaths are also nice:

 

These giant colorful balls would be great party decorations and would be even better after Christmas when everything goes on sale:

Okay, these I am debating, I would like a nice christmas towel for the downstairs bathroom and saw some that were cuter than these and much more durable:

Confession: I don't like baking cookies. But I like that Target set up those that do. Maybe I can BUY coconut macaroons for Grandma Plank and stick them in a seasonal jar. I have been known to make the coconut macaroons but I would like to avoid things that require egg whites be at room temperature. Bastard eggs:

And finally, nutcrackers. So NOT into nutcrackers but this goes to show that Target is throwing out all the stops.

When I go back to the store (under Mr Fredrich supervision who will hold my credit cards away from me) to purchase the $20 wreath, I will photograph more Target Christmas stuff.
