Welcome to the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Today we can officially say it’s Christmastime! And we couldn’t be more excited. Throughout the month, we’ll be bringing you ideas, tips, and how-to’s for making the most of the hap-happiest season of all.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming up this month:

• Insider tips on can’t-miss events, from the Garden d’Lights to Snowflake Lane to the Gingerbread Village (just to name a few).

• Ideas for the prettiest holiday hair and make-up.

• Just-right outfits for every party, from the swankiest soiree to casual get-togethers.

• The recipe for the best sugar cookies you’ve ever had. Seriously.

• Easy and beautiful ideas for decking your halls.

• Even more gift ideas, from stocking stuffers to group gifts to DIY presents.

And because we just couldn’t resist getting started a little earlier, don’t miss our Gift Guide, picks for the prettiest paper, and a gorgeous DIY advent calendar (complete with treats you’ll actually want to eat).

Laura Ingalls Wilder once wrote, “We are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.” We hope this year that you and yours enjoy all the magic and joy the season has to offer.

Merry Christmas!
