Twelve Festive Fetes
If you are a regular reader, then you know that I just love, love the holiday season. I enjoy listening to Christmas carols, watching on repeat my favorite holiday movies, window shopping just to see the beautiful window displays {especially at Anthropologie}, baking and baking, and wrapping and wrapping. I love how all of the sudden there's a a calm in the air, a twinkling of lights in every corner, and there's the inevitable holiday spirt that feels like magic. During this time of year, I love any excuse to celebrate the season. Here I came up with twelve festive fetes that you can enjoy this season. And not every festive fete has to be a big production.Twelve Festive Fetes to Enjoy this Holiday Season1.
