Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀
Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he marr Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he married me, I don’t think he realized he was signing up for a lifetime of Christmas decorating chaos! 😂

But when you’re a Christmas-obsessed wife who believes EVERY single room in the house deserves its own Christmas tree, you have to start decorating early, right?! 🎅🏻

I mean, putting up multiple Christmas trees, hanging garland, and transforming our entire home into a cozy Christmas wonderland takes TIME! So obviously, October is a perfectly reasonable time to start decorating for Christmas. At least that’s what I keep telling him! 😜

Thankfully, after 10 years of marriage, he knows the drill and just goes along with all my crazy Christmas decorating ideas. He’s a keeper for sure! ❤️

Now PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one who starts decorating for Christmas in October?! 🎄🤣 And how many Christmas trees do you put up in your house?!

Easy Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas

You know I love to decorate for every season and holiday. But since Valentine’s Day is so short, I didn’t want to over do it. So I thought it would be fun to show you guys how I dressed a few of my spaces up by adding just a few, simple Valentine’s Day decor touches here and there. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it inspires you to add little Valentine’s Day pops in your home as well!

Valentine's Tiered Tray
You see that sweet, hand-embroidered tea towel underneath my sweets canister? My great-great grandmother stitched that and my Meme gifted it to me last year for my birthday! It’s so perfect for me since I love vintage things and I am cat obsessed as well!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here for my disclosure policy.

Valentine’s Day Coffee Bar

My favorite space to decorate for every season is hands down my coffee bar! It is so much fun to switch up and I am the kind of person that gets tired of looking at the same thing over and over again so I like to be able switch my decor up.

So this space is perfect for me and it helps me be as creative as I want.

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar
You can also see how I keep my Goli Apple Cider Vinegar gummies on my coffee bar. That way I am reminded to take them daily, and they match my decor too! Plus, you can still use my code “morningsonmacedonia” to try them out and save 10%!

For Valentine’s Day, I decided to showcase a few of my Valentine’s Rae Dunn mugs and add little touches of pink and red all over.

You know I also love to mix old and new pieces together, so adding in those old vintage pink thermoses on top was a fun touch as well! Having a coffee bar is a really easy way to add in some Valentine’s Day decor to your home.

Close up of Valentine's Day Coffee Bar
You may also recognize that gum ball machine on top! I refreshed one from Target last year with some spray paint to make it more my style and now it matches perfectly with my Valentine’s Day decor!

Another cheap and easy thing I like to add are some fun paper straws. I added some pink ones in my mugs and again, this pastel pink color can easily flow into Spring decor too.

I try to be resourceful when picking out my decor and I like for things to be able to last through different seasons and/or holidays.

25 off plus free mug

Tiered Trays

Another thing I love to style for every season are my tiered trays! They are also a lot of fun to decorate and I like being able to add little touches of whatever season I want to display to them.

You can keep the overall look of your tiered tray from season to season too. Just add in a few Valentine’s Day decor touches and you’re all set!

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar Tiered Tray

You can see below how I just added in a few touches to make this tiered tray appear more Valentine’s Day related.

Like the felt hearts in the ironstone bowl. And the little heart sign and bowls as well.

Kitchen Valentine's Day Tiered Tray
Close up of Kitchen Valentine's Day Tiered Tray

And again down here on this tiered tray, I added in both old and new pieces too. I think the star of the show on this one is the vintage cookie cutter box!

I just love the old graphics to it!

Tablescape

I always enjoy switching up my table decor for every season and I am loving my Valentine’s themed tablescape. I honestly want to leave it out after Valentine’s Day because it just gives me all the cozy, romantic vibes!

Valentine's Day Tablescape

If you remember my last year and how I made a simple paper heart banner, I had some leftover paper hearts already cut out and I decided to use them for my tablescape.

The paper hearts are a perfect, romantic addition to the place settings and centerpiece.

Valentine's Day Tablescape

I am loving the light blush touches it gives to my table. And plus, I plan on using this same tablescape throughout the spring as well, minus the hearts.

I think the blush color is very versatile! 

Valentine's Day Tablescape

As usual, I am using my vintage ironstone dishes and saucers for this tablescape. I just love how dainty they are. But, I added something new this year to my Valentine’s Day table decor.

You know my love for Antique Candle Co, and I love the fact that they pour their candles into vintage dishes as well. So throughout the past year, I have been collecting vintage pink depression glasses from them.

Valentine's Day Centerpiece

I thought it would look perfect for Valentine’s Day, but also throughout the spring as well! The soft pink color is just so beautiful!

Valentine’s Mug Cubby

I have an unhealthy obsession with coffee mugs so I obviously need several spaces throughout my kitchen and dining room to display them! And this mug cubby is one of my favorites!

It fits several of my Rae Dunn mugs in it perfectly and I like being able to have another space besides my coffee bar to display all of my seasonal mugs in.

Valentine's Day Mug Cubby

I also stuck with the Valentine’s theme here and I even added some extra little hearts for more of a Valentine’s Day touch.

These hearts were actually strung together in a banner that I got from the Target Dollar Spot last year, but they broke apart on me. Not wanting to throw these cute little hearts away, I was determined to find a good use for them.

Luckily, they had a little clothespin attached to the back so I thought it would be perfect to clip them on my mugs to give them a cute little red and pink pop of color!

I also added some greenery here as well to break apart the mugs.

Vintage Valentine Day Cards

You know I love all things vintage. So I love to display some of my vintage valentine’s day cards in creative ways. For example, I created a vintage Valentines banner to hang on my hutch.

Easy Vintage Valentine's Day Banner

I also love to display them on my open shelves in the dining room as well. I found a few vintage inspired valentines from Hobby Lobby and mixed them with some real ones as well.

You can even tell the difference from the newer cards and the older ones!

Valentine's Day Open Shelving

Another easy idea for vintage Valentine’s Day decor, is to just place one on a flower frog. I did that in my office and on the shelves you see above.

I have several flower frogs and use them all the time to display old cards like this throughout the different seasons.

Vintage Valentine's Day Card

Conclusion

Well, I hope after you see these spaces of mine that I have fixed up for Valentine’s Day, that it inspires you to do a little something to your home as well!

I mainly just decorated my kitchen and dining room area for Valentine’s, but there are so many other ideas that you could do around your home too.

Valentine's Day Dining Room

Like a simple little banner hanging across your mantel, or a cute accent pillow in your bedroom. Have a Valentine’s themed candle burning in your living room or a blush colored throw draped across your sofa.

As you can see the possibilities are endless and you can find so many easy ways to add in a little Valentine’s without overdoing it.

Neutral Valentine's Day Decor
I also added a little neutral touch of Valentine’s Day on my entryway table by adding in these cute and simple wooden hearts in my lantern.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a lovely Valentine’s Day this year! And tell me below if you normally decorate a little for Valentine’s Day or not too!

    Ooooh! Tiered trays! I have an old low bureau that serves as a coffee table and it gets changed up regularly… different seasonal table runners, knick knacks and plants, mugs and baskets. A tiered tray would be fun. My other fun thing… and I love some of the little things that say love you, etc – is to tuck those little things in surprise places for my kids to see… Like small plaque inside the medicine cabinet when they get out the toothpaste, or on their night stands, or in the fridge.

POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointmen POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointment, but end up finding a little Christmas magic when you need it most. 🥹🎄❤️

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

Ummm, what do you mean?! Is that even a question?! 🤣 Obviously, I’ll be decking the halls, putting up Christmas trees, and baking and decorating Christmas cookies! 🎄🍪🎅🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣

I thought Toby was going to be the CUTEST little lion for Halloween this year, but apparently he did NOT agree with my vision! 🤣 He ripped that lion’s mane off faster than I could even get a good picture!

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼
These might just be the CUTEST Halloween cookies e These might just be the CUTEST Halloween cookies ever! And the best part?! They’re SO easy to make! 🍪

If you’re looking for an easy Halloween cookie recipe that’s just as delicious as it is adorable, you NEED to try these soft and chewy Halloween Sprinkle Cookies! 

They’re buttery, perfectly sweet, loaded with festive Halloween sprinkles, and seriously so simple to whip up!

And unlike traditional Halloween sugar cookies, there’s NO rolling out dough, NO cookie cutters, and NO spending hours decorating with royal icing! 🙌🏻 Because as much as I love a beautifully decorated cookie, sometimes I just want something quick and easy that still looks cute! 🤣

These homemade Halloween cookies are perfect for:

🎃 Halloween parties and spooky celebrations

👻 Halloween dessert boards

🍪 Classroom parties and festive treats

🧡 Cozy Halloween movie nights at home

Plus, you can switch out the sprinkles for any holiday, making this one of those easy cookie recipes you’ll want to save and make all year long!

And did I mention they’re ready in about 25 minutes?! No chilling required! 👏🏻

COMMENT “RECIPE” BELOW and I’ll send you the full Halloween Sprinkle Cookies recipe so you can make them too! 🧡

And be sure to SAVE this post for your next Halloween baking day!
Okay, but seriously… HOW EARLY is too early to put Okay, but seriously… HOW EARLY is too early to put up the Christmas tree?! 🎄🤣

Because I’m over here trying to enjoy all the cozy fall vibes, pumpkins, and Halloween decorations, but my heart is already screaming CHRISTMAS! 🎅🏻❤️

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE fall decorating and everything that comes with autumn, but Christmas is my all-time FAVORITE holiday! And the temptation to start pulling out all my Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and cozy holiday decor is getting stronger by the day! ✨

I mean, who says pumpkins and Christmas trees can’t coexist?! 🤣🍂🎄 I personally think a little fall decor mixed with some Christmas magic sounds like the best of both worlds!

So now I need to know… Are you team Christmas tree up BEFORE Thanksgiving or team wait until AFTER Thanksgiving?! 👀👇🏻

And please tell me I’m not the only one already itching to decorate for Christmas! 🤣

💅 POV: You want salon-quality dip nails without th 💅 POV: You want salon-quality dip nails without the salon appointments or expensive price tag! 😍

If you love the look of dip powder nails but hate constantly having to book nail appointments like I do, then you NEED to try the brand new Olive & June DIY Dip Nail System! 

This at-home dip powder nail kit comes with everything you need to achieve beautiful, salon-quality nails right from the comfort of your own home! And the best part? You can do them on YOUR schedule! 🙌🏻

Here’s how easy it is to get the perfect DIY dip manicure at home:

💅 Step 1: Shape your nails to your desired length, push back your cuticles, and prep your nails using the acetone remover pot.

💅 Step 2: Apply a thin layer of dip powder base coat to the upper 3/4 of each nail and dip into the base powder.

💅 Step 3: Apply base coat to the entire nail, immediately dip into your chosen dip powder color, and tap off the excess.

💅 Step 4: Apply the dip powder activator and let it dry for 2 minutes. Then apply another layer of base coat and wait 2 more minutes.

💅 Step 5: Buff your nails using the “shape” side of the buffer, followed by the “smooth” side.

💅 Step 6: Seal your nails with another layer of dip powder activator and let dry for 2 minutes.

💅 Step 7: Finish with an even layer of dip powder top coat and let your nails fully dry for 5 minutes!

And just like that, you’ve got a gorgeous DIY dip powder manicure without ever stepping foot inside a nail salon! 😍

I’m all about finding easy beauty hacks that save me time and money, and being able to do my own dip nails at home is definitely a win!

Would you try doing your own dip powder nails at home, or are you a nail salon girlie?! 👀

Honestly, walking through their showroom makes me want to replace every rug in my house with something a little darker and moodier for autumn. 😂

If you’re near Asheville, NC, their showroom is definitely worth the drive! I’ve truly never seen such a huge collection of gorgeous rugs all in one place. The hardest part is narrowing it down and actually choosing one. 😉

Are you team light + neutral rugs year-round, or do you love the darker, moodier look for fall?! 🍂

Sharing some Sunday stills of all my cozy fall decor because it’s officially time to start transitioning our home from fall to Christmas! And while I’m SO excited to start decorating for my favorite holiday, I’m also a little sad to say goodbye to all the beautiful autumn colors! 🥹

There’s just something about those rich, warm fall tones, cozy textures, and pumpkins everywhere that makes a home feel extra inviting! 🍁🤎

But if you know me, you know Christmas decorating is basically my Super Bowl. 🤣 And since I insist on having a Christmas tree in practically every room of our house, I have to start early!

So here’s to dragging out approximately 500 Christmas storage bins, completely destroying my house for the next week, and questioning all my life choices until everything is finally decorated! 😂🎄

Tell me, are you still enjoying your fall decorations or have you already started decorating for Christmas?! 👇🏻

Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait now… and I’m fully embracing it. 😂

Sorry, but staying home with my cats, reading a good book, and being cozy sounds WAY better than having plans. 📚🐈

Don’t get me wrong, you might catch me out and about every once in a while… but just know I’ll need approximately 2–3 business days at home afterward to recover from all that socializing. 🤣

At this point, my ideal weekend is canceled plans, comfy clothes, a good book, and my cats nearby. Homebody life just suits me. 👏🏻

Please tell me I’m not alone! Where are all my fellow introverts, homebodies, book lovers, and cat moms?! 👇🏻

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

Save this easy DIY Christmas ornament idea for your holiday crafting list!

Would you turn your vacation seashells into Christmas ornaments too?! 🦪

We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina Charm event at @therevelry_clt benefiting the Isabella Santos Foundation! 💕

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Now I need to know… are you a Southern Charm fan too?! And if so, who’s your favorite cast member?! 👀

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀
Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he marr Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he married me, I don’t think he realized he was signing up for a lifetime of Christmas decorating chaos! 😂

But when you’re a Christmas-obsessed wife who believes EVERY single room in the house deserves its own Christmas tree, you have to start decorating early, right?! 🎅🏻

I mean, putting up multiple Christmas trees, hanging garland, and transforming our entire home into a cozy Christmas wonderland takes TIME! So obviously, October is a perfectly reasonable time to start decorating for Christmas. At least that’s what I keep telling him! 😜

Thankfully, after 10 years of marriage, he knows the drill and just goes along with all my crazy Christmas decorating ideas. He’s a keeper for sure! ❤️

Now PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one who starts decorating for Christmas in October?! 🎄🤣 And how many Christmas trees do you put up in your house?!
