Christmas came early to our house this year! In order to recharge my battery and change up the vibe after a hectic fall (hello, election stress anyone?), I’m not ashamed to say that I started to work on making the space merry and bright in early November. I rummaged through boxes full of nostalgia—stuff that I’ve carried to L.A. from my hometown of Milwaukee and my previous home, New York City—and then scoured the internet for new additions. As I’ve gotten older, I think I’ve become more invested in this ritual, and carrying on old traditions while creating new ones also means even more since getting married last year.
