I’ve always been a firm believer in the sacred rule: no Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. But then, along came one irresistibly charming toddler, and suddenly, I’m the kind of person who would happily string up Christmas lights in August if it brought him joy. So this year, the moment Halloween bid its spooky farewell, we dove headfirst into the Christmas spirit, determined to stretch the season’s magic as far as we could. Here’s a little glimpse into our wonderfully extended holiday adventure. Xoxo.
