Don’t worry, I haven’t decorated for Christmas yet (these photos were taken last year). But…

Can you believe there are only twelve weekends until Christmas? Here’s my secret to a peaceful season:

Prep now, and the holidays will feel cozy—not chaotic.

Preparing for a cozy (and calm) home for the holidays

Pour a steaming cup of tea, grab a pretty pen + notepad, and start a seasonal brainstorm:

• What do you want Thanksgiving to feel like?

• What do you want Christmas to look like?

This intentional practice makes planning fun, preparation easy, and the whole season more enjoyable—so you’ll feel peace, not panic.

And to make things even simpler, you can find everything you need for a cozy home, seasonal decorating, hosting, and holiday prep all in one place at Wayfair.

Here are a few favorite Wayfair pieces from my home and more holiday finds!

A few cozy favorites from Wayfair that make our entry extra charming: a demilune table (comes in 2 colors), a scalloped lampshade lamp (lots of size and color options!), the sweetest bunny pitcher (I use it year round and fill with different seasonal elements), versatile cane + wood lidded boxes, and a pretty floral rug.

I love how cozy this lamp looks when it’s on, too. I loved this lamp so much I bought variations of it three times! The larger size seen above in white, the smaller cobalt below, and a smaller white, too.

I’m already dreaming of holiday tablescapes. Can’t wait to bring out these darling tree dessert plates again — they instantly make dessert feel extra festive and special.

I have the matching mugs, too!

This blue and white nativity scene was love at first sight. It feels so special in our home to remember the reason for the season.

This knit checkered stocking is so sweet (also comes in red).

Plaid Pillow. The wool hooked bunny pillow is coming back in stock next month (you can ask to be notified when it’s back!).
