Happy November
It’s here, Y’ALL. IT’S HERE.
The start of the holiday season. There’s the time change and shorter days and cozy nights and Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s and sweater weather and hot chocolate and movie marathons and cookie bakes and carols.
And I’m here for ALL OF IT.
And to celebrate I’m sharing 12 Days of Getting Ready for Christmas with my amazing friend Leslie from My 100-Year-Old Home.
It’s 12 days of recipes and crafts and organizing ideas and decor and decorating tips all designed to get us all ready so the holiday season will be so much less stressful.
And today?
We are kicking it off with what you should be shopping for NOW in terms of decorating and decor. Those shipping delays and limited products that they are talking about? They are real. So many things are selling out or out of stock or have shipping delays.
Yikes.
So to try to help I put together four different color and decor schemes for Christmas and linked everything so just in case you wanted anything new for Christmas? I got you.
Here’s what I found.
Farmhouse Christmas Decor
I love a little farmhouse.
The only thing better than farmhouse is farmhouse sprinkled with Christmas.

I love the two white trees that are on the ottoman in the first photo. Did you make them? OR Did you buy them somewhere?
You are so wonderful with all the ideas! Thanks for sharing! Excited to try some new ideas.
I love the white sleigh! If there is a purchase link, please let us know - I am sure that I am not the only person digging it!
I also love the white sleigh and the two trees on the ottoman. So do two of my friends. Could you give the sources here so they don’t have to write to you and ask the exact same question? Thank you!
Ah, KariAnne, you have set the wheels in motion and reminded me to order my wreaths from my local library. Happy Day to you!
Hi KariAnne! Love it all! As usual!! Can you tell me where to find the white Christmas trees sitting on the coffee table in the first photo? They reappear on the buffet later in the post. I ordered a few wreaths, so I have officially started…let the Christmas season begin! Thank you!
So many options! My biggest step to stay ahead of the shopping craziness is to make sure I have enough working lights for my tree. Last year I had to get creative ... although sometimes that works out to be an unexpected benefit. Who knew that the magnolia flower lights I made for my wedding many years ago would still be working? They looked like little snowballs on the tree. Or so I told myself!
Wow! So many amazing ideas! You certainly made it easier for us to shop I love it all! And we better get shopping because I noticed a couple things that already sold out! Thanks for sharing this awesome post and helping us on our way!
I think you could help me get into the Christmas decorating spirit!
Karianne, Loved how you used the sleigh different places, etc. I have a White Milk glass sleigh , a black metal sleigh & a gold metal sleigh that I change about and do things with, plus a larger one I use on the front porch or by the fireplace at times. Sleighs remind me of winter, snow (not a fan of) and Holidays, especially Christmas! Love all the ideas. Happy decorating, a tad early for me, I'm still decorated for Thanksgiving!...

Ahhh, the Christmas Spirit!! It's in the air and I love it!!! xoxo
Who’s that beautiful fur baby?
