There is something truly magical about the month of December.
Starting today, it’s about to get even more special.
For the next 25 days, I’m pairing up with my blogging pal Mo of mocadeaux to celebrate our personal wonders of December!
In keeping with the sentiment of the season, we’ve conjured up the concept of a Pair Tree.
It could do with a little gussying up, no?
We think so too! So, we’re linking up to give it some life. Every day, from now until December 25th, one of us will add a precious ornament to an empty green box. Our accompanying post will reveal why this image is meaningful to us. Happily, there’s no limit to the type of decoration. It can be either a true ornament, a cherished memory, or perhaps a festive tradition. The options are endless. One thing’s for certain. Come December 25th, our Pair Tree will be resplendent in December blessings treasured by us. Kelly and Mo.
I am so excited about this idea of ours. It’s hard to believe that Mo and I have never physically met. We were introduced online through our participation in the Build a Blog You Truly Love course taught by Liv Lane this past Spring. Since then, through following each others blogs, we’ve become friends. I believe I’ve met a true kindred spirit.
That thought is the natural segue to the placement of the first image onto the tree. A bare tree, it represents a blank slate about to be filled. For me, it holds the promise of all the gems I’m about to learn about my new friend – the wonder that is Mo.
Mo and I invite you to join us on our daily reveal. Gather round, pour yourself a beverage of choice and join in the fun. Who knows – perhaps there’ll even be the odd partridge in our Pair Tree. I can’t wait to find out!

Well isn’t this a fantastic idea! I absolutely love it! I had no idea you and Mo weren’t IRL buds…ha! But I know from experience that OL friends can be just as close and just as special so that’s greatness. Looking forward to your reveals Kelly. Very creative.
Thanks Beth! A very happy December to you! I consider you to be an OL pal too. May the elves bring all of us much creative magic this month and in the hundreds to come!
Hello Kelly and Mo, I absolutely love this idea of yours. Pair is NOT a typo, I’m looking forward to learning about some new traditions and also seeing which ones we share. Thank you for this brilliant collaboration. HO HO HO! Wendy and the North Marpole Elves.
Pair is not a typo indeed. Thanks Wend! I’ll reckon you and I share a fair number … and it’ll be so fun to learn how many we share with Mo! Happy December!
This is going to be fun! Thanks for starting the ball rolling – both with the idea and with this absolutely perfect introduction. Happy December!
Yes, it is going to be so much fun! Thank you for coming up with the tree composition Mo! Joint effort all around I must say. Happy December to you!
What a great idea! I love that friendships can be created without ever seeing the other person in person.
It is so fun Linda. We are indeed blessed to live in the times that we do. Just a few years ago you and I wouldn’t have even “met!” Wishing you a very Happy December!
I am excited and will be following along with you amazing ladies. This is such a brilliant idea.
Aw – thanks Karen. I’m heading over your way now – great title by the way!

That’s Day Two – Done and Dusted! On to Day Three … !

Thanks Kristi. Still chuckling over your “batty broken hand post.”
I am SO excited!! I love you both…and having you guys join forces is like blogging gold. I can’t wait to see each ornament!! Squee!! (And “Pair Tree” is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard!!) –Lisa
Thanks Lisa. I am beyond excited to Pair up with Mo!
How simply brilliant and creative of you both. Woo Hoo. You’ve inspired me too♡
Thanks Suzie! Lovely to know we’ve sprinkled a little inspiration on our Pair journey!
Now that is some “What now!”
Perfect. (Who does that sound like?) This just makes my heart sing. I CANNOT wait for you two to dress that tree. I know I’ll learn, laugh, and see just how beautiful this internet opportunity becomes as two friends celebrate life and each other. Thrilled. Perfect.
Heading over to your new BFF to see what she’s saying about the pair tree.
Thanks so much Susan. What now indeed. And yes, it is “Perfect.” I am beyond excited to be sharing this Pair journey with Mo and learning more about her. Love what she led off with today. It’s so very her and so very wine worthy …
I totally picture you and Mo as friends in real life! Heading over to read Mo’s post for day two – I’ll be back tomorrow to read yours for day three.
I know – I can picture us being pals in RL too! Loved her Day Two reveal – so very her and yes, I can’t say it enough, so very wine worthy.
This is so exciting! I can’t wait to read this all month long, and see that little tree fill up with precious pictures.
Thanks Kristen! I am really looking forward to learning more about Mo. Happy December!
This looks like a lot of fun! I’ll be following along! 🙂
Thanks Michelle. Happy December to you!
Oh this is so fun. Looking at Mo’s list quickly there are several shows listed here that look like they are my favourites too! I’m going to have to reread this again in a little more depth.
