Oh hay there! Four days until Christmas.
Today we are discussing the magazine holiday spread.
I love a holiday design mag spread.
For lots of reasons.
Firstly, it tickles me to think of people full on decorating their homes for Christmas in September so that the spread can be shot to run in the holiday issue.
What do they do? Leave it up until Christmas? 
Take it all down and start again two months later?
Dunno. But it amuses me.
Also, I love holiday spreads because of how “designery” they are. 
Actually, I love bloggers in general this time of year who come up with a whole Christmas decor scheme.
Like this year I am getting a pink tree and having a pink Christmas. And next year I am getting a black tree and having a black and white Chanel Christmas.
Do you even know how fabulously insane that is??
Oh! And the wrapping paper themes!! Every year my dear friend and blogger Alaina has a color scheme that she uses to wrap all of her presents. I, contrastingly, currently have an unwrapped box from amazon under my tree. I wish I had a wife like Alaina to take care of lovely details like that for me. And don’t even get me started on my new sister-in-law Rachel who is like a kind and gentle Martha Stewart. One of these days I will show you the delightful touches she brings to life and your mind will be blown.
Bloggers in general tend to be pink unicorns, but I think it particularly shows at this time of year.
And I know I say “Bloggers” as though I am not currently typing this on a blog, but I just don’t have that level of sparkle in me.
I am fine with that, though. Because if I did, if that effort and attention to detail came naturally to me, I might not appreciate those talents in others that so cheer my heart this time of year!
So tell me, are you a Pink Christmas Unicorn? What do you do to make this time of year special for your friends and family and yourself?
