And just like that, Christmas is here. Well, almost.

This will be the last note you’ll receive from me before Christmas, and I may be taking a small pause through the New Year. There will still be a couple things popping up on the blog, and I might sneak in a Saturday email too. We’ll see where the season takes us.

I’m a bit late sharing my Christmas tree this year, but I finally managed to finish it, photograph it, and get the blog post written. Phew. Just in the St. Nick of time.

This tree feels like a gathering of all my Christmas trees from years past, which is why I’m calling it my Christmas, Collected tree. It’s layered with memories, nostalgia, and little details borrowed from seasons before. The kind of tree that keeps revealing itself the longer you sit with it. You may have already caught a glimpse on Instagram, but if you’d like a closer look, it’s waiting for you on the blog today.

Merry Christmas to you, with extra kindness and love for whatever you may be carrying this season, in the joyful moments and the quieter ones too. I hope a bit of Christmas magic finds you right where you are. ❤️

Thank you, truly, for your kindness, your support, and the warmth you share with me all year long. It means more than I can ever say.

Wishing you a happy, happy Christmas and all the very best as we step into the New Year.
