25 Days of Christmas, christmas carols, Countdown to Christmas, holiday spirit

I must admit, I’m totally that person who starts listening to Christmas Carols the day after Thanksgiving and I don’t stop until Christmas Day (or in some cases, New Years Day).

I have many a preferred holiday song from Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas” to  Josh Groban’s “Oh Holy Night”, but my absolute favorite of all time that always gets me in the Christmas spirit is Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song”.  And that, my friends, is #4 on my Countdown to Christmas list.

#4 Nat King Cole's 'The Christmas Song'

What’s on your Christmas Carol list?

Coming in at #5 on my Countdown to Christmas list… golden rings. Get it, 5 golden rings? 😉 I know, I know, but I couldn’t resist.

In all seriousness though, these dainty golden rings are simple and chic, and yet another awesome gift pick for you or your BFF.

While we all love giving (and receiving) the big gifts, it’s still important to find little somethings to stuff the stockings.

#6 on my Countdown to Christmas list is the perfect stocking stuffer.  I’m dying over these adorable lip sticks… adorable on their own and on you!

25 Days of Christmas, Christmas, christmas decor, Countdown to Christmas, DIY, gold tinsel, gold tinsel wreath, wreath

This year, I kept meaning to pick up a fresh wreath from my local florist, but never managed to get around to it.  Then… I stumbled across this beauty on Pinterest.

This adorably chic tinsel wreath is so simple to make and adds sparkly festive flare to any room. And so… number 7 on my Countdown to Christmas list is another fun holiday DIY project.

It’ll be gold tinsel for me (obviously)… how about you?

As we all know, holiday gift giving is not limited to just our closest friends and family.  It also extends to all those who make our lives easier throughout the year – work assistants, manicurists, hairdressers, waxologists ;-), etc.

Coming in at #8 on my Countdown to Christmas list is a gift pick for all those who help take the stress out of everyday life.  These notebooks are the perfect little token of appreciation.

25 Days of Christmas, Countdown to Christmas, festive holiday clothing, printed leggings, what to wear on christmas day

Number 9 on my Countdown to Christmas list is ‘what to wear on Christmas Day’.  This year I’m planning to keep it casual so you can only imagine my delight when I found the perfect pair of AWESOME Christmas leggings.

Comfy and stylish, what more could a girl ask for (especially a girl that’s 8 months pregnant)?!?

25 Days of Christmas, christmas decor, Countdown to Christmas, holiday decor, pincone garland, red front door

For #10 on my Countdown to Christmas list, I’m focusing on decor again, but this time we’re going outside… specifically, the front door which is where your house makes its first impression.

I’m smitten with this little vignette… the embellished pine-cone garland is gorgeous, and the red door is just perfection.  This definitely gets my holiday-chic stamp of approval.
