every year as soon as halloween passes and the calendar flips to that first day of november, a little battle within begins, the battle of when to start decking those halls. if my heart had it her way, a lit christmas tree would already be strung in white, snug in our house as a charlie brown christmas played loudly on repeat, all the while peppermint brownies would be baking in the oven, filling the house with the perfect christmas scent. however, my head tells my heart to shut up for a bit because it’s only about three weeks to soon. usually about ten days before thanksgiving my head starts slowly giving in and letting a bit of christmas sneak in until it admits full defeat as they both just can’t wait any longer. i would say by about november 20th, the christmas holiday has almost taken over our home. well, as tradition would have it, today i couldn’t help but dream about where our tree would fit in our new house and i didn’t stop myself from purchasing my favorite winter candle at target and lighting it as i do every year just about now, for the very first time. a strike for the head and a win for the heart. to ease the strain just a bit, i made a little winter wish list for this up coming snowy season, a few beautiful things for the winter holiday. . . how soon do you start celebrating the holiday season?

I am so excited for Christmas this year, maybe because it's our first Christmas in our apartment so we can decorate and celebrate whenever, however we want. Although I do have to wait until after my husband's birthday to start decorating and going Christmas crazy so about 3 weeks for me too . 🙂
I am feeling the same way! i have started thrifting and planning a theme for decorating in our new place this year but now with all this new fun thrifty finds and inspiration i am having to hold myself back from decorating to early! Since we will be spending most of dec on the east coast visiting family i am thinking i might decorate a bit early this year so we can enjoy it before we fly east =)
Oh, I'm so like you- I want the Christmas time to begin! I'm just teaching myself a lesson in slowing down and enjoying the gear up for Thanksgiving first.
🙂 Great list
