The countdown is on for all of the holiday festivities. We are hosting Thanksgiving next week and Christmas just a few weeks from now, so we’ve been preparing our home for the entire hosting and holiday season — with Wayfair!

From baking treats, to setting our table, to decorating and shopping for gifts…Wayfair always comes through for us with everything we need to celebrate and savor the season.
This last week my daughter Courtney and I turned on some jazzy tunes to do some pre-holiday prepping on a blustery day. We:
- lit some candles to set a cozier mood, it was so dark out — this was a must!
- did a little early Christmas decorating (so glad I started early, it takes longer than you think!)
- gathered our favorite holiday dessert plates (these tree appetizer plates, and these polka dot tree dessert plates, to be ready for hosting). I washed them and put them all in one spot so they’ll be easy to find later.
- baked a Christmas Gingerbread Loaf in a darling white scalloped loaf pan (a new to me recipe!)
- refreshed our kitchen shelves to be ready for serving with a seasonal mix of classic green and white plates and platters (white ruffled dishes, green stoneware patterned dishes, cabbage platters)
- sipped our pre-holiday coffee from festive mugs (these winter scene mugs, and these tree mugs)
- taste tested the Gingerbread Loaf (and 10/10 recommend, you can find the recipe here).
Have you been preparing for holiday and hosting season in your home?
It is fun to make a day of it, we got a lot done and enjoyed it, too. I need to schedule another prep day soon!
