Ultimate Guide to Decorating For Christmas


Ultimate guide to decorating for the holidays

Hello friends!! Can you believe that the holidays are almost upon us?! Christmas is my very favorite holiday. I love every single thing about it! The gift buying, wrapping, and giving. The lights, the parties, the food, the decorating, and of course spending quality time with friends and family! What more could a girl ask for?

I know the holidays can be a stressful time with all the things that we have to get done before Thanksgiving and Christmas rolls around, which is why I created a free Christmas planner with you in mind! I highly recommend you download it and fill it out this week! There is still time for you to do the 15 days to an organized Christmas if you want more step by step guidance as well. But make sure you get the Christmas planner now and get started jotting down all the holiday  to-do's!

You can also see my ideas in years past on other Christmas decorating that I've done and the Christmas decor items that have caught my eye. If you are hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner, than you will want to check out my Thanksgiving tablescape and get the place setting cards!

I know there is a big debate about waiting to decorate until after Thanksgiving or before turkey day. I usually wait until after Thanksgiving, but this year I am so excited and can't wait to get things set up so I think I'll be starting this next week! That way I can enjoy the holiday season to its fullest.

Follow me on Instagram where I will share all my projects and decor ideas with you! First on the list is to make a orange garland, mixing it with garland, cream beads, and black and white stripped ribbon for my mantle! I can already smell the wonderful aroma! I also need to finish making my kids a Christmas ornament to put on the tree once it's up!

Who's excited to get their Christmas decorating started?!!!! Where do you sit on the big decorating debate? Are you on team before Thanksgiving or team waiting until after Thanksgiving?
