Why You Should Prepare for Christmas Now

Why now is a great time to Get A Jumpstart On Your Christmas shopping, decorating and baking 

Why preparing early for Christmas makes sense.

Why preparing early for Christmas just makes sense.

Let’s talk about why you should prepare for Christmas now.

Today is August 5, 2025 and I feel like this is the perfect time to plan for Christmas. Why? Because we have so much to do and we want to be ready when the holiday season comes.

For those of you who love Christmas, you know how quickly it comes and goes which why I am suggesting that you get an early jumpstart to the holiday season now.

It’s all about enjoying Christmas as long as possible. If I could, I’d starting decorating my home August 1st, but that is a bit early and besides, Summer has her place in my heart and I want to relax until Autumn arrives. 

When July rolls around, I have to admit that I begin thinking about Christmas especially when QVC showcases Christmas in July. Although I like to shop their sales I must say that have enough Christmas decorations to last a lifetime.

Last year I bought a few pieces from my girl Val when. she introduced her new lines of Christmas products. I purchase a few burgundy Christmas hurricanes. They are beautiful. 

And now let’s get to the fun stuff!

How can we prepare early for the holidays and have ourselves a merry little Christmas?

I’ll start by saying we need to have a conversation about the most wonderful time of the year. 

First, get out your pen, paper or pad. 

We are going to pen our plans for the holiday season. When we write down our to do list for Christmas we can use this list as a point of reference if we need to. For me, everything is already stored in my heart for all the things I must do for the holidays.

Let’s call it Our 2025 Christmas Love List. This is going to help us to get things done in a timely fashion way before the holiday season arrives. 

Secondly, we should think about how we want to decorate our home for the Christmas 2025 season. Do you have any thoughts regarding how you want your home to look for Christmas? Do you see visions of bright colorful lights and red ornaments? Are you thinking of a Christmas theme this year?

Preparing for The Holidays Early Gives Us Time To Relax and Enjoy The Season More

Starting with the windows in your home, how do you want to decorate them? The possibilities are amazing and endless. Use your creativity to design wonder and splendor this Christmas if that is the look you are going for? Do you plan on using multi colored or white lights? Do you have to buy new ones or do you plan on using your existing lights?

Be sure to test all of the lights you plan to use to make sure they work.check whatever Christmas lights you I suggest testing them now because you may need to buy new ones. I recently found a pack of multi colored lights in my attic and they work. I’ll place those around my home in a space that needs them. I think every space in a home needs to be colored in Christmas. I say this because I love this holiday abundantly. 

Now that you’ve done this let’s think about your Christmas tree. Do you plan on buying a new true tree or will you use the one that you have? If not may I make suggestion?

Two years ago I decided I wanted a flocked tree. I searched unto I found King of Christmas? They have a nice selection of artificial trees. They are beautiful trees and some of them look like the real thing and they are easy to maintain. 

And what about bulbs, baubles or Christmas ornament; do you have enough to give your tree that wow factor. If you need more ornaments I recommend checking out Hobby Lobby. They have a large variety of Christmas tree bulbs in every color you can imagine as well as holiday treasures and trinkets that you can hang on your Christmas tree. 

Your Christmas List Should Be Filled with Creativity, Design and Love

Next on our list would be outdoor Christmas decorations. Do you have inflatables that you plan on putting outside. Be sure to check those as well to make sure that they can still be used. 

Onto dinnerware sets, tablecloths and napkins. I always purchase these items new every year because I want them to be new, fresh and clean. 

If you need to buy any of these paper clothes get them right now. This way you’ll have them in hand all season long. I buy my paper hand towels from Home Goods. They carry a lovely selection of Christmas paper goods including guest hand towels. Keep these fully stocked so that when guests arrive you always have plenty on hand. I always purchase white ones with gold Christmas decorations on them. They look beautiful in my gold tray in my kitchen and bathrooms.  

And let’s not forget to check your inventory for serveware and other serving dishes for the holidays. You’ll also want to keep your Christmas plates, muffin pans, baking sheets, cake pans, parchment paper, foil, cling wrap and cookie sheets near as well. Store these items in or near your kitchen for easy access throughout the joyful holiday season.

If you have a storage bin you can place anything that can be stored in them for safe keeping and quick access. 

Preparing early for the christmas season will give you more time to share with your family and friends

What about candles? Do you use them throughout your home during the holidays? Home Goods has the largest selection of candles I have ever seen. They are reasonably prices, look beautiful and smell amazing.

How about we get you ready to relax and enjoy the holiday season. You have a ton of things to do and that is why I am suggesting that you get a head start to the Christmas season now.

Embrace all of the things that you have to do knowing that it is for a great purpose. Experience the love and joy of the holidays when you begin to piece it altogether early and when the Christmas season arrives you and your family can relax and see the splendor that you designed from your heart for you and your family.

Remember, the number one focus and goal is you. You deserve to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest and preparing now will help you to ho ho ho into the Christmas season with ease, joy and relaxation. 

Merry Christmas,

How To Create A Wonderful Holiday Season

You Can Create An Amazing Christmas Season by Doing This One Thing

Have a Merry Christmas

Do you want to make Christmas 2025 a Christmas you will forever cherish? Fill it with more love.

Get out the Christmas trinkets that you’ve treasured year after year.

Reflect on those special holiday traditions that has and still does bring abundant happiness and joy in your life.

Open up your Christmas treasure chest and gift that one Christmas tree heirloom to a loved one that your mother gave you years ago. 

May it be the first that all eyes see when they enter into your home.

Get Ready To Create Christmas Wonder In Your Home

Allow the sounds of the holiday season to flow through the rooms of your home while Christmas decor lights up the walls of your home.

Prepare to receive family and friends with loving arms and may your hands warm their hearts when love blankets them.

Offer them a seat on the cozy comfy couch and cover them with the handcrafted quilt your grandmother crocheted decades ago.

Serve mouth watering canapes for your guests. They will ask you for the recipe.

Take out your finest wine glasses and pour a glass of champagne to celebrate your relationships and friendships.

And now sit, relax and enjoy heartwarming conversations all about the Christmas season.

Wait while I put on Celebrate Me Home.

This Christmas song is more than beautiful.

It lends inspiration throughout the joyful holiday season. Originally written and sang by Kenny Loggins, I have fallen in love with Josh Groban so it is only appropriate that I play his version.

This Christmas song, I must say, is aww-inspiring.

When you hear your doorbell ring and you see your neighbors standing at your front door because they hear songs of the season echoing from your living room window,  invite them into your home to enjoy some of your Christmas traditions.

May the Christmas Spirit rests on your rooftops and into every room of your home. 

Have yourself a very amazing Merry Christmas everyone.

Have a Joyful Christmas Season

embrace the Spirit of Christmas with All Your Heart

Fall in love with Christmas again and again.

There will always be joyful moments when you believe in the Spirit Christmas. Fully embracing the holiday season delivers an abundance of love, peace and joy.

Let’s have a sincere conversation about Christmas and its wonder.

July will soon be days of the past. Days that came so quickly and departed before evening, you will say so long July and welcome in the hot days of August. 

August will most likely make its way onto our daily list of all the things we must do to prepare for the next holiday which is Labor Day in September.

Meanwhile, families will be getting ready for school to start.  The Jersey shore, often homes to thousands of people for a brief moment of time, will be a reflection of memories made. 

And then thoughts of the holiday season will come to clothe us with elation and we smile. 

We will see visions of families gathering, sharing meals and enjoying the holiday season. 

Extending your heart as you open your hands, you give.  

Giving is an everyday occurrence for all of us.

Sharing all of the abundance that we have makes the holiday season a special time that we look forward to year after year. 

True and sincere words are spoken to the hearts of those whose lives are in our presence throughout this joyous time. 

Embracing the miracles that come to blanket our hearts and homes we give thanks for being granted our heart’s desire.

We also give thanks for the wonderful abundant blessings that we experience all year long. 

And now  champagne Christmas opens the door to the Douglas fir tree to come in to adorn our homes in splendor. A fully bloomed Christmas tree whose thirst must be quenched from the moment it brings in wonder.

With intentions of decorating this beautiful baby from top to bottom with white lights it will bring in warmth, smiles and hope. A hope for a promising new way of thinking that takes us to a place of new beginnings; our hearts.

Gifts wrapped, Christmas songs sang and delicious food to warm our souls are some of the traditions to be shared.. 

Hope-filled, the renewing of the mind delivers joy that radiates through the windows of homes.

Stars and glow from the moon and expressions that light up every Christmas tree ornament will be felt and all shall be illuminated.  

Stories will be written and peace will never leave. 

This new life has all the splendor and joy that helps to define the meaning of believing.

Believing in the miracles and the amazing moments that we share with family, friends and those close to us.

May all the days of the holiday season be the way you see and how you live and enjoy it.

In conclusion, enjoy the holiday season and embrace the joy.

Merry Christmas to all.

The Special Christmas Dinner Guest

It’s Christmas Eve, Dinner Is Served, Please Won’t You Join Us

The Special Christmas Dinner Guest

Embracing special moments throughout the joyful holiday season.

My family and I got up early in the morning on Christmas Eve.

We had a ton of things to do today before our guests would arrive for our annual Christmas Eve dinner.

We all piled in the car to go get a last few minute items for the feast.

Every year at 4 p.m. the festivities begin and the kids were super happy. This year they sent out invitations to a few of their classmates and they accepted.

I had already prepared most of my dinner the night before because I want to enjoy as much time as possible with all my guests. Relaxing and conversing with some of my closest friends brings me exceeding joy.

When we got to the supermarket I grabbed the sourdough rolls, my favorite vegan butter and a small lemon cake for me and hubby to enjoy later that night. I had the wine chilling in our little fridge for a special time such as this one.

After picking up everything I needed from the store the kids and I made a beeline home.

The Special Christmas Dinner Guest

I asked the kids to straighten up the living room a bit while I created a gorgeous tablescape for our Christmas dinner party. It turned out more beautiful than last year.

After that the kids bathed and got dressed. I showered and slathered on my Rose Gold luxurious handcrafted body butter. It was time to get dress. I put on my pretty red dress and stepped into my black leather shoes, the ones with the red bottom soles. I looked in the mirror and quickly approved of my attire. I gave myself and wink. Guests would be arriving very soon.

The kids and I made our way downstairs and waited with pure joy for our special guests to get here.

Our ring camera informed us that our first guest had arrived. We quickly went to the front door to see who it was.

The Special Christmas Dinner Guest

I looked out the window and saw my daughter’s two best friends smiling from ear-to-ear. I think it’s safe to say they were elated to join us for Christmas Eve dinner.

They came in and headed straight to my daughter’s room to hangout until it was time to eat.

Not long after our other guests started arriving in bunches. Altogether 15 guests had come for dinner.

Their home is my home which means they can hangout anywhere in my home they want to. Most of us sat in the kitchen while other friends gathered in the living and dining rooms.

I had a large variety of mouthwatering appetizers and plenty of beverages in each room for my friends to enjoy. Of course I baked my moist delicious dark chocolate brownies. The kids gobbled those up!

The house was clothed in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance was amazing and everyone was in awe of my breathtaking,  unique and beautiful Christmas decorations that blanketed our home from top to bottom and wall to wall.

Everything was exactly how I envisioned and planned it. It was simply sensational.

The Special Christmas Dinner Guest

As we all got ready to eat dinner there was another ring at my front door. It was strange though because I didn’t see anyone on the camera.

I quickly made my way to the front door, but when I opened it no one was there. I checked carefully around the front yard, but all was quiet. I went back into the house because I didn’t want to leave my guests alone for too long.

While we were eating and engaging in Christmas conversation and celebrating each other I heard another ring at my front door. This time my husband checked, but he didn’t see or hear a thing.

So he came back to the table. After dinner was over we all gave a toast to each other for time spent creating gifted memories we will cherish a lifetime.

After our toast I heard another ring at my front door. My camera informs me that someone is at our front door for the third time. This time my guests, hubby and I all head to the front door. As we open the front door we see a big red sleigh loaded with gifts. And then we see 12 reindeer on our lawn.

We could not believe our eyes. While we were standing there in amazement snow began falling.

Talk about overjoyed we were laughing and just having a grand time.

All of a sudden the kids and their friends came running outside and told us to come around to the backyard. We hurriedly walked to the back of the house. Shocked, we saw a man around 5’10” tall. He was super round with the whitest snow like beard laughing as loud as he could. It was Santa Claus.

Santa lovingly gave gifts to all of us. He also warmed his belly with a full course meal and he loved it!

Not long after that, Santa fed his reindeer a few special treats before they took flight.

I hugged the old guy, rubbed his tummy and sent him on his way, but before he jumped into his sleigh, I whispered in his ear, I love you, Santa. Thank you for all of my Christmas gifts you have left me along the way. 

This is a night none of us will forget.

The Round Little Man In The Bright Red Velvet Suit

Santa Claus Stopped By for a short visit and Decided To Take a Nap

The Christmas Eve Visitor

There was something different about Christmas Eve and the vibes could be felt all evening long.

My husband and I had just come home from the most wonderful Christmas party ever. It was midnight and we were both ready for bed. 

We dined and partied with close friends and a few family members. 

Giving a toast to Christmas the pink champagne was excellent and the food was beyond delicious. 

The lobster was cooked to perfection and the crab cakes were 100% crab meat and I mean premium lump. 

We were also treated to baked potatoes and asparagus. I was more than pleased with my meal and enjoyed it all. 

After dinner we received Colombian cups of coffee and tea. I opted for green tea only because I’m not a coffee drinker. 

For dessert we had red velvet cake and cream cheese pound cake that was out of this world. I had a slice of each because I love cake. Besides ice cream it is favorite thing to eat. 

After dessert we all danced while a few played chess. The night felt amazing. It felt like it was never going to end. We all had a fantastic time and I was grateful to be in the company of such lovely and truly wonderful people. 

When the evening was over we all hugged and engaged in quick conversations because it was late. I was excited to get home and I was delighted to have spent quality time in love. 

Hubby and I got home around 12:30. I immediately checked on Max our German Shepherd and he was fine.  I went up stairs to get ready for bed while my hubby secured our home. 

Max joined me, as he always does, and I prepared for bed. 

As I laid down I heard somewhat of a strange sound. It was coming from the bedroom next to mine. I knew it wasn’t my husband because I had just heard him downstairs still stirring around. 

I tip toed into the hallway to see what I was hearing. I peaked into the bedroom and saw a husky body sound asleep on in our guest bedroom. Frightened out of my mind I flew downstairs to get my husband. I suddenly o thought to myself how come Max didn’t tell me that someone was in our home. 

After flying downstairs and grabbing my husbands hand he immediately ran upstairs with a baseball bat in his hand. 

I stood back as he approached the room. He gave this husky-bodied man a nudge. He didn’t move of course so he shook him again but this time with much more force. The man, whose back was to us, rolled over and said hi ho ho merry Christmas. Hubby and I both shouted ever so lightly, Santa Claus! What are you doing here? 

Santa explained to us that he was so tired after delivering toys to our neighbors house he decided to stop by our house for a quick visit. When he noticed we weren’t home he went down the chimney, grabbed a bite to eat and made some warm milk. Santa said he needed a nap and went upstairs and jumped into bed. He didn’t mean to sleep so long because he had a busy night ahead of him. 

Well Santa got up, washed his face and hands. He then left our home, walked back over to our neighbors house, hopped in his bright red sleigh where Rudolph., Donner and Blitzen were waiting.

We stood in our door entry way as Santa took flight. It was such fun seeing Santa on this cold winter night. 

Hubby and I locked our front door and headed for bed.

The Christmas Eve visitor was the best Christmas gift ever and this is one Christmas we will never ever forget.

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix

A Christmas Tradition That Melts In My Mouth Every Holiday Season

Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix for the Holiday Season

Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate brownies melt your heart as they warm your mouth.

Good Day Christmas Luminaries,

Today I want to talk about Ghirardelli’s Premium Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix.

One of the things I love about Christmas is baking. 

My family and I love brownies. If I bake Ghirardelli’s dark brownies and nothing else for the holidays I’ll be just as happy as if someone had baked a dozen different desserts for me.

Have you ever used a recipe only to find that it needed your extra special touch? Well, that’s how I feel about these decadent brownies. Now, don’t get me wrong, these babies are more than scrumptious and I love them just the way they are when they come out of my oven.

Here’s the thing with me and these brownies. Although I simply love these moist squares I like to do something a little different with them.

The recipe calls for oil, water and one egg. I find these brownies to be super fudgey (is there such a word).

And even though I do enjoy fudgey brownies, I love cake-like brownies so much more. So to make my brownies more cakey, I add two large eggs to the recipe. You can also add a little coffee to the mix if you really want to bring out the chocolate favor. 

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownies Are The Perfect Blend of Decadence and Goodness

Ghirardelli Dark Brownie Mix for the Holiday Season

These brownies maybe from a box, but they are just as delicious as if they had been made from scratch. That’s how wonderful they are.

Furthermore, these brownies are not too sweet at all. That’s another thing that I love about them.

At one time I was hooked on Duncan Hines’ brownies, but once I discovered Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate brownies, I have not looked back.

They are more expensive than other brands that you find in the supermarket, but they are more than worth spending a bit more.

Another thing that I love about this brownie mix is that they come with chocolate chip morsels added in the mix. If you’re a chocolate lover like me you’re going to love when you bite into your brownie square and a chocolate morsel meets your mouth and make you feel like you’re on another planet because that’s just how good they really are.

Every Time I Bake These Brownies I Add More Chocolate Chip Morsels To The Mix

Wait! I have to tell you this. The other thing that I add to the mix sometimes is peanut butter morsels and you know why? You guessed it. I love peanut butter.

You know chocolate and peanut butter going well together and the two are indeed a marriage made in my heart.

When the chocolate chip morsels and peanut butter morsels are poured and baked into the mix you have a dessert so special that guests would not be able to tell if you made them from scratch unless you told them, but why would you! 

Each and every year at Christmas I bake a bunch of brownies for my family. It is with pleasure that I go into my kitchen to whip up these mouth-watering chocolate squares. I love that I get to watch my family enjoy this one very special dessert every year every Christmas. 

Believe me when I tell you that it doesn’t take long for our hands to reach into the cake plate to grab one brownie, then two and three until they are all gone. 

I think it maybe time for me to get out the Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie that I bought from Target yesterday because after all Christmas, for me, is everyday!

Why don’t you make yourself some Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownies and treat your family to a special kind of love.

Merry Christmas everyone.

My Heart Beats with Christmas Tradition, Spirit and Peace

The Spirit of Christmas came to visit my home and decided to stay.

Whenever I hear the first sounds of Christmas I smile. I am smiling knowing my heart will be filled with more love than the days before. 

Radiance fills my heart and I illuminate like lights on a tree. 

Ornaments of grace and a crown of glory brighten my home. I am forever gifted with treasures and trinkets. 

In my living room there are two subtly scented candles. Sweet gingerbread and decadent apple cinnamon. They lend light along with a touch of elegance when evening falls and light and lamps have been dimmed. 

And as I feel the embers and see the glow from the fireplace and how it glows in every space in my place, I am still smiling.

I have always believed my home is like nature. It is peaceful and overflowing with calm. It is a place for all who enter to relax and dream. 

The Spirit of Christmas Surrounds my home day and night and This story tells a tale all about the beauty of the christmas season and how it makes me feel loved

As I am entering into more of the same Christmas meets me so that I receive more love. I will welcome it and I shall embrace it. The feeling is like a fleece-lined comforter that comes to bring me comfort and joy just like Santa when he comes to deliver Christmas presents for girls and boys. 

And now as I make my way into my beautifully decorated breathtaking dining room I invite family and friends to gather and glow. Right here we will converse, talk Christmas and of speak of love. 

There will be plenty of champagne. We shall toast the evening. 

Our dinner will be the most delicious fare where recipes will be shared and thoughts of guests will be given. 

When dinner has been served and dessert enjoyed and loved to the fullest we will enter into the living room to exchange handcrafted Christmas cards and LV gifts.  Every card will contain heart written messages of Christmas joy. 

Gifts will be both large and small to suite each guest to the tee. And yes, we will sip on tea. We will share Christmas stories from years past and create new memories that will forever last. 

I Give a Toast To  The Spirit of Christmas that forever shall reign in my heart

And now on this Christmas Eve we will share all of our good nights with kisses and hugs oh so tight. 

The festivities have been blessed and the celebration as amazing as my guests. 

All of my candles have melted down.  My eyes will now close and my body must rest as I give peace to my mind graciously flowing from the north south east and west. 

Good night to all and to all bright lights.

The Spirit of Christmas came to visit my home and I am forever thankful for friends who came to roam.

Shop My Christmas and Beauty Finds On Amazon

Best Christmas and Beauty Finds

I love shopping for the holiday season. Cooking and baking are my two loves when it comes to Christmas. 

Last year I decided that I wanted to buy plastic plates to use throughout the holidays. I’m the dishwasher in my home and I needed a break from cleaning up dishes all season long. 

I went on Amazon to see if I could find white and gold plastic plates because my Christmas theme for 2024 was white, gold and red.

Amazon had so much to choose from. When my eyes saw these beauties I knew I had to buy them. 

When my plates arrived I was really surprised of the quality of them. Of course I read the reviews before I made my purchase. These plates received great reviews. The reviews helped me to make up my mind to buy the plates for Christmas.

If you’re looking for some really nice Christmas plates that you can just throw away, I think you will love these plates. They are truly the perfect plates to celebrate the holiday season!

Check out these plates on Amazon.

There’s a Feeling of Christmas Everywhere

Christmas Is The Holiday That Sings To My Spirit

There's a Feeling of Christmas Everywhere

 

There’s a feeling of Christmas everywhere.

This phenomenal feeling is in my heart, blanketing my spirit and warming my soul.

I am over the moon just thinking about the upcoming holiday season. 

Hearts come together and loving warmth takes over.

The other day I began thinking about Christmas. Christmas is always on my mind. There was a slight jolt in my spirit and I jumped into the car and drove to Hobby Lobby. I had a feeling that they were stocking their shelves for Christmas.

When I got there all I could see was shelves were overflowing with autumn decor. I think it’s okay to say or even believe that their shelves will be full of Christmas soon. 

I’m going back there today (Monday, June 16, 2025) to see what they have on display for the most wonderful time of the year. 

I received an email over the weekend from Michael’s craft store that they are putting out their Christmas decorations this week. I’ll head there today as well to see what beauties they will be displaying for the holiday season. To say I am excited is an understatement.

The Christmas Season Is Beautiful, Warm and Wonderful

For me, there are so many things that make Christmas special. Even visiting the craft store, Home Goods and other home stores make me happy. I am not hard to please. Give me Christmas and you’ve given me the world. What can I say. I truly adore Christmas.

The decorations alone make spirits bright. The wonderful Christmas color palettes that illuminate our homes and songs that sing to our heart are amazing as well. 

And then there’s that cozy feeling that we all know so well and welcome with open arms that always shows up during the holidays while lovingly spreading good cheer everywhere we go. 

We can’t forget about the winter weather. Winter and Christmas go hand in hand. It’s the cold here up north that does it for me. 

Christmas Calls and Snowflakes Gently Fall 

I absolutely adore the cold and snowy conditions that always seem to show up when Christmas comes. 

Winter wonderlands make Christmas even more special every time I see a snowflake or two that sometimes turns into a real heavy snowfall. It’s awesome what those delicate beautifully designed snowflakes can do when they all fall to earth together. 

Looking forward to the 2025 holiday season I am preparing my home, once again, to receive love, joy and an abundance of good cheer followed by peace. 

As the Christmas season approaches I will be ready. Every year I look forward to preparing my home for this sensational season filled with love. 

I’ll slowly decorate every inch of my home with all of my beautiful Christmas decorations. My theme this year will be red and gold or perhaps silver and icy blue. Whatever colors I decide to use I will make it all come together like a picture on the front cover of a magazine. 

Christmas is such an amazing time of year. It fills every room and inch of my home and I love it. I look forward to enjoying the splendor and wonder of the season. 

This year I’m going to write a few Christmas songs and sing them to my family. I want to make sure each and every Christmas is special because I love my family and I love Christmas. Creating these These memories that can never be forgotten is extremely important to me.

What Christmas will you be creating this year that your family will cherish and never forget?

Merry Christmas everybody,

Sincerely,

Cyndi
