This holiday season, I’ve opted to deck the halls earlier than usual. While some may raise eyebrows at this decision when shared on social media, it’s important to remember that you can’t please everyone. Ultimately, the key is to do what brings you joy!
The rationale behind my early decorating spree is tied to the proximity of both my birthday and my partner’s to Christmas. Typically, we find ourselves away from home during the festive lead-up, limiting our time to savor the decorations. Given their beauty, it seems a waste not to extend their enjoyment.
Amidst the current barrage of negative news, I firmly believe in seizing any source of happiness, no matter how small. If Christmas decorations can brighten your spirits, why delay putting them up?
There’s no harm in spreading some cheer, especially since many of us are spending more time indoors. It’s a cost-effective way to lift your mood, provided you already own the necessary trimmings.
Critics may scoff, but adorning your home for the holidays is a delightful activity in itself. Pair it with a festive drink of choice, whether mulled wine or hot chocolate, and revel in the joy.
As Christmas-themed ads flood the airwaves and markets buzz with activity, the countdown to December 25 becomes hard to ignore. Embracing the holiday spirit is a natural response to the season’s allure.
Unpacking cherished decorations, each holding sentimental value, is a heartwarming tradition. Whether souvenirs from past vacations, handmade gifts from loved ones, or beloved Jellycat ornaments, they all add a personal touch to the festivities.
Venturing out to procure a fresh wreath from a local makers market, we took pride in being the first on our street to flaunt this seasonal adornment. Setting trends has its own charm!
If the holiday blues are looming, don’t hesitate to embrace the festive spirit. Crank up the Christmas tunes, let loose, and allow the magic of the season to envelop you. It’s a decision you won’t regret, I assure you!
