Christmas Is Still Lingering In My Home and I Love It

Christmas is still lingering in my home and I love it!

I know it’s February and Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but forever Christmas remains with me.

Whenever I think about Christmas and all the joy that comes along with this special time of the year I smile. I smile because I love how the holiday season hugs me.

Furthermore, I love the shopping, baking, caroling and singing. 

For me, Christmastime brings hope to my heart and home. There is a special sensation that enfolds every inch of my being during the holidays and I embrace this feeling every year with gratitude.

Unwrapping gifts of hope, peace, joy and good cheer keep me uplifted and amazed. 

Christmas 2025 will be celebrated with more family traditions, thankfulness and a whole lot of wonder accompanied by beauty and splendor.

Whatever your plans are for the Christmas holidays plan accordingly and get ready early. This way you can sit back, rest and relax and enjoy the celebration!

The Christmas season will be upon us before long and we want to make sure that we enjoy every second of the most wonderful time of the year.  

Christmas is still lingering in my home and I love it. I always have and will.

Here’s to planning for a very amazing Merry Christmas.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, holly and happy.

With peace and love,

Let’s Decorate for the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Let’s Get Ready To Welcome Christmas Into Our Homes

Decorating Our Homes for the Christmas Season

Decorating Our Homes for the Christmas Season starts right now.

If you’re ready, read along and decorate your hearts and homes with me for the holiday season and smile with glee.

Christmas is almost here and it’s time to roll out the red carpet and get ready to celebrate after we have decorated.

Who is ready to decor their home for the holidays? Let’s delve into merry and bright and illumine our homes with beautiful Christmas decorations.

As I have said time and time again, I love Christmas. Christmas is the most amazing time of year for me and my family.

Here it is October and I am ready to decorate my home for Christmas For the last two years I have been decorating my house for Christmas in October.

Although I shelf shop for Christmas decor every year in October I still prefer to use my own traditional pieces to decorate my home with, but you’ll still find me racing to Home Goods, Hobby Lobby, Michael’s for fun. Going to At Home to get a look at their breathtaking Christmas decor. I was not disappointed!

Shopping for Our Holiday Decor

Decorating Our Homes for the Christmas Season 

First, Home Goods is my favorite store for buying Christmas decorations. HG inspires me and gets me deeper into the Christmas mood that warms my spirit.

Shopping for the holiday season get me super excited and seeing the stores stocked up for Christmas. This time of year motivates me to decorate early because when October rolls around in my mind it’s Christmas and I want to enjoy Christmastime as long as possible.

Also, Hobby Lobby and Michael’s are both great to buy decorations for Christmas they both are similar in what they sell for Christmas.

I visited At Home in Maryland and was in awe at their enormous selection of all things Christmas. They had every ornament imaginable and in a variety of colors. 

From red to light pink, blue and mauve everything in their Christmas section was lovely and I enjoyed browsing through their decorations. 

After shelf shopping I decided that I would leave all of the 2024 Christmas decor behind and use all of the decorations that I already have instead of buying new.

I’m ready to decorate and I’ll start with my coffee table.

A few years ago I purchased a gold tray that I absolutely love.  It will be my coffee table’s centerpiece to be a showcase of stunning Christmas decor.

This gold tray is beautiful, bright and perfect for the Christmas holidays. Something about it sparkles and it says Christmas morning, noon and night.

Now, right in the middle of my gold tray I have placed a glass gold Christmas tree which serves also as a candle. It smells remarkable.

Right next to my gold Christmas tree I placed a tall gold reindeer. He has antlers that make him more than beautiful. Everything about him is gorgeous.

Next, I have added red and gold ornaments to this lovely tray with a few purple pieces to make this masterpiece pop.

To add more color and whimsy I have placed a set of three Starry Night Ribbon Ornament Hurricanes in red that illumine with white lights to brighten my table. I purchased these lovelies  from Valerie Parr Hill when she introduced them on QVC in July. These stunning hurricanes help to set the tone for Christmas and they are truly amazing.

And then there is Santa Claus. He is on the opposite end of my red hurricanes. He is clothed in a red soft winter coat and has some wonderful gifts in his sack. He is ready to make his deliveries.

Well, Christmas Luminaries, I think that’s it for now. My Christmas tree will be going up this week. I’ll be back to share the photos with you.

Decorating our homes for the Christmas season should be joy and love

Happy Decorating and Merry Christmas!

Great Christmas Gift Ideas

Great Gift Ideas for Christmas

Good Day Christmas Luminaries,

Great gift ideas for Christmas is here!

How are you? Today is Saturday, September 28, 2024 and it is the most wonderful and perfect Autumn day.

The temperature is very mild and the leaves continue to fall as they leave their home falling to the ground blanketing and warming earth’s grace and splendor. Today is filled with all kinds of Christmas possibilities and I am embracing them all.

As I continue to countdown to the wonderful holiday season gift cards for Christmas have been on my mind. Have you or do you buy gift cards for friends and/or family?  

I have a few small gifts to buy and gift cards maybe the perfect gift. 

I really love the thought of giving gift cards for Christmas because it’s a very thoughtful gift in my opinion.

Great Christmas Gift Ideas Are Here

Giving a gift card to someone close to your heart takes careful thought though. Let’s delve into this great gift idea it to see if a gift card would make a nice gift for someone we love that maybe hard to buy for.

 First, let’s begin by asking ourselves some questions. 

The person I want to purchase gift cards for is my son. Now while I know which stores my son likes I need to ask myself if he would actually use the gift cards if I buy them, I mean would he use them or would they sit on his bedroom dresser. 

Secondly, I need to ask myself the following questions:

  • What kind of clothing does my son like/wear best?
  • Does he need socks or undergarments
  • What is his favorite clothing brand?
  • Would he prefer a Ralph Lauren gift card or a Neiman Marcus gift card?
  • Would he prefer a Target gift card or a Wawa gift card?
  • Does he need something for his car?
  • Does he need something for his house?
  • What is his favorite restaurant?

Asking myself these questions will help to make it a little easier when it comes to gift card shopping for my son and to understand what gift card he would actually use and appreciate.

What do you think about these great gift ideas for Christmas? Has this helped you in deciding if you would purchase gift cards for family? 

Happy Christmas Shopping and Merry Christmas,

Cyn
