This book deconstructs just why this was, and details how to create a holiday season that will not only make you happier, but also more enjoyable for your loved ones.
No matter the time of year you are reading 'A Chic and Simple Christmas', whether it is the second week in December or the middle of April, it is never too soon to start thinking about your ideal Christmas holiday season. By this I don't mean start your gift shopping; I mean really work out for yourself what you would like to experience, and start creating and planning for that.
If your holiday season experiences don't quite match the idyllic vision you have in your mind, I'd love for you to be inspired by 'A Chic and Simple Christmas' where I share how to create a holiday season you will love.
