Inside Tiny House Christmas Celebrations
Sharing Holiday Cheer from the Tiny Home World
Have you wondered what a tiny house Christmas is like? The truth is it doesn't look much different than anyone else. However, holiday celebrations are often on a smaller scale than the average household. Some folks also have a more environmentally friendly take on the season.
We love how tiny homes inspire more intentional living and conscious spending habits that create room for more of what matters most all year round. But during the holiday season, this is especially wonderful. Clutter-free gifts, for instance, can help cut down on unnecessary stuff. Instead, they offer a way to spread the joy of simplicity like simple pleasures, rich experiences, and uncluttered ways to add value to a loved one's life.
Here's a great minimalist Christmas checklist, no matter the size home you live in:
With all that said, merry & bright holidays also include festive decor and delicious treats. Those are must-haves for our tiny house Christmas celebrations, anyway. Decorating together and displaying items that we love brings us so much joy. But as the Tiny House Concierge, in her recent guest post, there's a fine line between joyful and wasteful. Read about her experience celebrating the holidays without turning her tiny dream home into a tiny tinsel nightmare.
But just like everything in the tiny living movement, there's no one right way to do anything. Doing what's best for you and your family is central to lifestyle.
Enjoy a fun, festive look at tiny house Christmas celebrations from folks in small spaces of all kinds.

What people are saying:
"Most books about tiny homes are really just about the fantasy, with beautiful pictures in far-off places, but they don't tell you how to get from point A to point B. That's where this book comes in and fills in all the gaps!"
