Blogmas Day 1: I’m back, (Santa) baby!

Hey, hello, and ho ho ho! I’m back for my TENTH (and perhaps final) year of Blogmas! I hope you’ve all been blessed and unstressed for the 11 months since we last chatted. Does this post find you cozy, sitting by a lit Christmas tree, eating carbs and watching poorly plotted holiday films? Yes? Good! I have more mediocre cinematic recommendations on the way! But first, some housekeeping!

What will this final year of Blogmas entail? I’m so glad you asked!

1. We’re playing the HITS, baby! After 9 years and 225 holiday themed posts, I’ve covered a lot of snow covered ground, and to be honest, I’m not trying to reinvent the wreath on my way out (hehehe, see what I did there?) All this to say, there will be some replays. Hope you love them as much the 2nd, 3rd, and maybe even 4th times around!

   1. Speaking of replays, I’ve had a lot of guest writers over the years, and it’s their time to shine again! From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for sharing your religion, culture, party planning hacks, and musical tastes with us ♡

2. It’s time to get GIVING ladies and elves! Giving season is one of my favorite yearly posts, and it’s back!

3. I’ll be sharing some new things about my year, because this is my very public diary, after all! This has always been a fun place to relive the highlights, and I intend to do just that!

4. There will be gifting ideas! Some new, some old, and for the oldies, I’ll do my best to swap out links and steer clear of retailers that uh, suck.

All that said, today’s post is absolutely a replay, because I worked very hard on this list/artwork last year. After much ado, I give you… *drumroll*… my holiday watchlist:

If you’d like a copy, drop your instagram in the comments and I’ll send you one!
