THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, WHERE WE WATCH THE SEASON COME TO LIFE IN A WAY THAT'S DISTINCTLY OUR OWN. WHETHER YOUR STYLE DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM NOSTALGIA, WHIMSY, OR SIGHTS THAT SHIMMER (OR A BLEND OF EVERYTHING), HAVE FUN DECKING THE HALLS HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE.

put a on it
The year has nearly reached its end—shopping lists have been checked, cookies have been sprinkled, gifts have been wrapped—and tying up all these tasks is a sweet reward of its own. It only seems appropriate that swirls and spools of ribbon wrap the season tightly, signifying both its gift and its completeness.

IN THE AIR THERE'S A feeling of CHRISTMAS
Early November is the longest I can wait. By then, I'm already pining for scents of cinnamon and nutmeg. For twinkle lights that catch my eye and Bing Crosby on the turntable. I'm longing to unpack every moment and memory of holidays past. Yes, I'm one of those. By the time we're ushered into the second-to-last month of the year, I am more than ready for Christmas to settle inside my home. The way we deck the halls at the farm doesn't change much year to year. For me, this season isn't about introducing a lot of new but about celebrating the old, the passed-down, the patiently waited for. It's about the sights and scents and stories that say to us, \"Soon, it will be Christmas Day.\"
