This is such a magical time of year and we're happy as can be! We had so much fun building our Christmas fort. Now we're enjoying the 12 dates of Christmas each day. Tonight's date is to go shopping for a Christmas record. Do you like suki's pug pjs? me too... xo. elsie
ps. If you're a new reader you might not know that building a fort is Mr. Larson's and my holiday tradition. We started it the first Christmas we were dating. Last year he wrote a side project EP and called it Fort Christmas. Here's one of my favorite songs...

I love that song + I love your fort. It is such an adorable idea :) Your pictures are always so cute! I have A Very She & Him Christmas on vinyl & I love it. We also have Charlie Brown Christmas. I think I would like to add an Elvis Christmas record to that collection :) since we live in Memphis & all.
I don't quite understand the fort ... Do you mean piles of blankets and couch cushions like children make? I think my husband would think I was nuts if I built one and asked him to get in it with me! Lol. But it sounds like fun so I just might try. And yes, I love the pug pjs!
I'm totally borrowing this idea--Paul and I are building a fort this weekend in the living room, making popcorn and watching Christmas movies. It's going to be awesome! Love your 12 dates idea, too.

I adore the fabric strip fringe! What did you use to tie the strips too, and did you use a special knot?
