It´s getting closer

Halloween is a sort of a lamp post in the calendar… after that one can slowly start to dip their tows in the pool called Christmas! Right? I´m not putting any decorations out but I do start to plan on it, getting in to the spirit of things. We still have Cotton Candy´s birthday to come so that sort of dictates the decorating time in our house. She decided on a mermaid theme for her friend´s this year ( another pool party as they had so much fun at the flamingo one). But we will have the table set upstairs for them so I will have to tone down the seasonal tinsels and tassels until that is over. Or what would you say about a mixed mermaid and Christmas theme?!  The party we hold for the relatives will be at the beginning of December so for that I have decided on a ” seasonably appropriate ” theme ( insert a wink).

What are your holiday musts to get you in the spirit? I love to listen to my festive playlist already and the scented candles in our house have a Chirstmassy scent. I added plenty of cardmom & more cinnamon to my pumpkin spice mix to get a new flavour on my coffee. I also love to browse through my Christmas books & start to plan the decorations and the feel I want in the house for December. Do you always use exactly the same decorations or do you change your theme yearly. I have a bit of both. A mix of the classics & a new theme in the overall scheme.

Have a lovely day,
