Christmas in August- Southern Living Style

Though my car read 113 degrees the other day, I’ve been doing a little Christmas planning, Southern Living style.

Southern Living and their editors reached out several weeks ago about wanting to photograph my house for their December issue.  It’s been fun to think- even in the middle of the heat-  ways to make my decor special for Christmas.

Their stylist and I have been planning- and there’s going to be lots of gold, white, and texture.  If you follow my stories on Instagram, you saw where a real tree from North Carolina arrived last week, courtesy of a tree farm owner who drove it down.

My children have asked if we can keep the decorations up for a day or two and have a Christmas party in August.   My child, who has a Christmas birthday, asked if we could celebrate her birthday while we are at it, too.  Not going to happen, but it sounds fun in theory!

Stay tuned as I will be sharing pictures all week on social media on how we are decorating for Christmas in August, Southern Living style.
