I'm Dreaming of a Kitschy Christmas

Ho-ho-ho there! I’m Jennifer Perkins and welcome to my Austin, Texas, Kitschmas wonderland that I share with my husband and two children (plus two dogs, two rabbits and a cat). I am a creative content designer, crafter and avid holiday lover.

Here Comes Santa Claus

My year-round decorating style is "more is more and less is a bore." But, I take this to the extreme during the holidays. There is nothing precious or classic about my version of Christmas. Right when you walk in the door you are greeted my two giant Santa collectibles, setting the mood for the entire house.

Christmas trees don't need to be real, and there's also no need for them to be green, either. A black Christmas tree is surprisingly festive when you add enough tinsel and vintage beaded ornaments to it.
