The most magical time of the year is HERE!! Christmastime is my favorite of all the seasons and even though we are staying close to home this month, we are still going to be sharing and doing a lot of holiday things with you all.
Last weekend, we got our tree and started decorating our home. It made me ever so grateful to have a loud, noisy home. We weren’t able to travel this year to see family at Thanksgiving because of COVID, and I am so happy we have our little family of four.
The month of December is all about the spirit of Christmas here in New England. Hopefully, it will brighten your holidays too. It’s a little different this year, I must admit. We cancelled a couple of holiday trips and are staying in Connecticut and Rhode Island for the most part unless something drastically changes.
I have plenty to share with you with some close to me travels, holiday style, and festive decorating and food. I kicked it off yesterday sharing my favorite sweater dress perfect for home or a dinner out and my first of many holiday charcuterie boards.
Here’s to making this last month of 2020 the best!!
What I will be sharing the month of December…
