You’ve probably heard this a million times already but I cannot believe it’s December. The last month in the year is always a very full one for us. Not only is it the holidays but we have a bunch of family birthdays and work is busy with holiday campaigns and end of the year deadlines.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much I love Christmas. This will be my third year hosting the holidays at my house with my family. I enjoy decorating the house and creating/continuing traditions is my absolute favorite and I get so excited about it every year. It’s like my inner child gets to be in charge of Christmas. Plus, I love the look on everyone’s faces when they open their gifts, see the decorations for the first time and watch Christmas movies we love.
Here’s a look at everything going on this month.
