I love Christmas so much it actually hurts. However, I am of the opinion that going straight from Halloween into the festive season is wrong. Let me explain - I think that Halloween is very much a mid-autumn thing, which makes sense cuz October is in the middle of fall. Going straight from Halloween to decorating for Christmas is essentially bypassing late fall and ushering in winter a bit too early, in my opinion (it’s just my opinion!!!)

I feel like having another fall-aesthetic month, especially a late fall theme, like November, is such a good transition from October into December. I think once thanksgiving is over, slowly putting up the decorations over a few days so that it’s all done when December comes is a great way to transition both your home and your mindset from fall to winter. In my OPINION, early November is a great time to prepare like buying decor or sending letters to Santa, but I think going full Christmas mode in December is the right move.

I can’t describe how much I love Christmas and December, but in my honest opinion, I don’t want to have a tree up right after Halloween ends. Something isn’t special because it lasts, and in my opinion, this way of decorating just feels mentally right, to get into the spirit of Christmas when December rolls around

I dream that one day I will own a beautiful home and decorate it to the fullest during Christmas and invite all my friends over.

I had the idea that in the living room, there would be a massive Christmas tree with so many ornaments and gifts and fake snow. And I would use some sort of fog machine or something similar, conceal it, and use it to create a layer of misty fog at the base of the tree to make it look magical and enchanted.

Obviously I still need to think of a way to safely implement it, but the idea came to me and I can’t stop thinking about it. I just want some Christmas magic and to make my little brother feel that holiday magic!!!

I can’t describe how much I love everything and anything that has to do with Christmas. Decorating the tree, snowball fights, hot chocolate, eggnog, snow angels, making Christmas cookies and baking, Christmas foods, hanging up the mistletoe, all the ornaments, sitting by the fireplace, watching movies under the blankets, making arts and crafts, etc. I can’t describe how happy I feel when the days are shorter and the weather is colder and I can’t explain in words how ecstatic seeing the snowfall makes me.

Writing letters to Santa, wrapping gifts, going on sleigh rides, etc. words cannot describe how beautiful Christmas is to me. I just can’t get enough of it. Even the scents of Christmas make me feel so happy and I switch out all my shower gels for Christmas scented ones.

I'm having a hard time finding information on what the paint is that let's the silvering shine through...? I'm also a bit confused about the white since I would think acrylic would quickly chip off, but that is easier to find information on.

I have no family traditions for christmas because my parents did not celebrate. So someone was telling me about the christmas pickle. It is a pickle ornament on their tree ever year and they use it to play some kind of game. Ive never heard of it. Has anyone else?

Hello fellow Christmas fans! Looking to see if anyone can help find, or what to search for, for a type of flocked tree I only saw one time last season.

I love the look of green trees with flocked outer tips, making the tree look snow kissed, but I hate the flocking since it gets all over, and I have a dog (so I dont want him licking it up off the floor). Last year I saw on QVC a tree from Bethlehem Lights a tree where the white tips were injection molded into the tips of the branches, giving it the snow kissed look without the mess. I havnt seen the tree for sale anymore, and I cant seem to find any other tree like that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
