And just like that, 2020 is almost over.
Who else is counting down the days until Christmas? It’s right around the corner, as is the official end of 2020. What a year!
Lets sum up 2020: tumultuous, difficult, unpredictable. But I also think it was a year of transformation, enlightenment, creativity and family. I am all for making the last 2 months of the year ones to remember for the good, so get out those boxes of Christmas decor, pop in that Michael Bublé CD, pour yourselves a beverage of choice, and let’s get into the holiday spirit.
But first, get out those snow-blowers, shovels and puffy coats… winter has arrived!
Wishing you a safe and happy month.
You know where to reach me, I’m available anytime…
See you in December!

• Go Big Outdoors For a truly show-stopping display swap traditional string lights for jumbo wooden versions strung on a lush holiday garland.
• Revisit Old Family Photos Add a sentimental touch to your mantle this year: Scour old family photo albums for some of the best snapshots of all your loved ones on Christmases past, then arrange them into a heartfelt display.
• Make Your Own Mistletoe This bundle of greenery, also known as a kissing ball, is a classic Christmas decoration fashioned with faux greenery, red berries, and a red velvet bow.
• Sew Your Own Tree Skirt If you have the sewing chops, fashion your own tree skirt. You’ll not only get exactly what you want, but you’ll be creating what’s sure to become a family heirloom.
• Rose-Coloured Glasses Just because red and green are the typical Christmas color palette doesn’t mean they’re your only options. Havenly’s Heather Goerzen shook up the status quo by filling this nook with warm pinks, creams, and oranges. The result is a fun, refreshing take on the classic palette.
• Tremendous Tree Want to give your Christmas decorations a “wow” factor? Interior designer Bunny Williams opts for a supersized tree. “It seems to get bigger every year,” she says. “Ornaments become very sentimental, and I still have a few from my childhood. You put them on the tree every year, and then when you take them down, you just can’t wait to see them again the next year.”
• Simplicity is Key You don’t need to pull out all the stops to make a statement. As this setup from Serena & Lily proves, simply hanging a textured wreath can add plenty of visual appeal.
• Defy Gravity Want to take your Christmas decorations to new heights? Make a statement with your light fixture. Blogger Liz Marie Galvan gave her dining room some floor-to-ceiling appeal by adding pine branches and faux fruits to her chandelier.
• Grand Entrance A well-appointed front door is a great way to bring the holiday spirit to your guests well before they step inside. Jacqueline Hempel of Finding Lovely turned her space into a winter wonderland by covering her porch in lush seasonal greens.
• Go Pretty in Pink Gone are the days of traditional pine and glitzy decor. This merry monochrome beauty from Martha Stewart is the festive refresh you’ve been waiting for.
