Today was the 20th anniversary of the very first text message! My dad relayed this fun little fact to me this afternoon. The text message was sent by a software engineer in Britain from a computer keyboard and do you know what the first text message read…
“Merry Christmas!”
And in the spirit of Christmas, here are some pictures of our Christmas tree we decorated over the weekend. My family went for a rustic, traditional theme on the Christmas tree this year. It’s fun to switch up your decorations every once in a while. I love the beautiful white owls and all the red berries.
And time to send out some Christmas cards…tis the season!
What a beautiful tree! To mimic everyone’s comments…I love the owls, such a cute touch. Merry Christmas!
Your Christmas tree is absolutely beautiful! I love the ornaments and all those special touches. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog
ok, you’ve convinced me– The Christmas tree is going up as soon as possible!
Love your photoshoot!

Your tree looks beautiful! And I love the story about the first text, it made me smile xo
Such a lovely post! I am inspired now!
What a fun fact and I’m somewhat relieved to hear that the first text message was something of substance and not ‘so whatcha doin’?’ 😉 Lovely decor for the holidays – this definitely puts me in the Christmas spirit!

Your Christmas tree is so beautiful! I love the soft white with the bold red. Very pretty. And I can’t believe the first text was sent 20 years ago. Think of how many texts have been sent since then!! Crazy! <3
