Happy November friends! I’m so excited I can’t stand it! Love October but I have to admit that I look forward to November and December all year long. Nothing beats this time of year full of gratitude, love, excitement, family time, and all things Christmas! It’s simply magical. My friends have been teasing me all week. They know that once Halloween is over all bets are off at my house. My favorite Christmas CD’s come out (this one and this one) and we get positively giddy planning the next two months! I’ve rounded up some of my FAVORITE past Christmas posts for you today if you like to start planning early like we do! So many ideas in this round-up! Past posts on decorating, organizing, gift ideas, etc. Click around and Enjoy! 🙂
