The holiday season is upon us! As a certified Halloween girlie, I’m always a little sad when we move further into November and December. I was never a Grinch, but I didn’t used to anticipate Christmas with as much glee as a lot of people.
Imagine my surprise when I was suddenly hit HARD with the Christmas spirit last year! I couldn’t get enough of it. I wanted to attend every Christmas tree lighting and festive pop-up bar in town and don my Christmas-iest red-and-green apparel any time I left the house. Yes, even in November.
This year has been no different. I’m already watching the Christmas movies on Netflix (Merry Gentlemen and Hot Frosty are both 100000% worth the hype). The tree is trimmed, and my husband and I are making dinner together each night with a jazzy Christmas playlist.
Maybe next year I’ll allow myself to be more present and see November as more than just an in-between of October and December… but this is not that year! Oops!
And here we are with the next Monthly Scroll. As a reminder, each month I’ll share three categories of what went in my brain and body, and what it brought to my life (and could possibly bring to yours!)
