Yes, suddenly it's that time to decide ... drumroll ...

— what is your holiday vibe going to be?

Of course, we're just having some merry fun with you: last thing anyone needs as the new season advances is to feel stressed!

But if you enjoy anticipating what's ahead ... Whether you be a Christmas Classicist or a Holiday Maximalist, we've got the design for you. Read on to see what your vibe might be ...

Maxi Decor.

Why just one bauble, where there could be two or three or many more? For you, 'tis the season to overdo it (but tastefully, of course!).

Clean Classic.

You like to mark the season, but take a Coco Chanel approach to decoration: best to edit in order to elevate.

Color Rich.

You like traditional red & green, but you aren't afraid to add more colors to make it modern: deep burgundy, hot pink, and apple green.

Tropical Punch.

If you're trading pine trees for palm trees this year, there's still every reason to celebrate. And maybe even more so (lucky you in the sunshine!).

Woodland Warmth.

Or maybe you prefer to get into hibernation mode over the holidays: put on the fire, surround yourself with friends, and share hugs all around.

Festive Folklore.

You know your mushrooms — and use cute, elvish accessories to create a fairy tale Christmas.

Now is also a wonderful time to show your local store some holiday love.

Shop small this season: the stores will be all dressed in their merry finery and ready to welcome you.

Yes, it's that ho ho ho time of year again.  Procrastinators among us (ok, me!) might be wondering when is the last day they can mail their holiday cards, and still have them arrive by that magic day of 25th December.

The US Postal Office tells us we should circle Tuesday, December 15th this year as our deadline for mailing Christmas cards, and gifts.  You can still squeeze out another few days for priority mail, for which the deadline is December 19th.

For your fabulous friends across the Atlantic in Europe, or just up North in Canada ... here you'll want to get over the post office by December 7th.

But here's the silver lining of this crazy year — you can be sure whenever your loved ones ultimately receive their cards, any dose of holiday cheer will be extra welcome this season!

And, stationery addicts, if you're ordering from our website, remember we include a stamp and a lovely gold seal with every purchase so you can get mailing right away (above, left).
