Dear Thanksgiving week, days off with no plans, Pumpkin Pie and Stuffing… thank you for being you. For being a reminder of gratitude, for an opportunity to spend time with family, and for making me happy… I sure enjoyed a whole week of family.

Dear Holiday Lights and Christmas trees… welcome back. I’m so happy to see you! Please shine bright and sparkle this whole festive season… we need it!

Dear Palmer & Bowie… snuggle sessions and calm playing will get you on the nice list this year ;) And for extra points, keep all four paws grounded while we have visitors… it’s gonna be hard… but I believe in you!

Dear Husband…I apologize in advance for the constant scent of pine and cedar wood candles and the endless sound of Bing Crosby/Frank Sinatra coming from our speakers… You can handle it for five weeks, can’t you?!

Dear Readers… thank you for your loyalty! Prepare yourself for lots of festive posts coming your way… I’ve got a few fun things up my sleeve that I can’t wait to share with you. ‘Tis the Season!

Dear Sparkles, Green, Red, and Gold…I can’t wait to wear you all December long. I plan on dancing around with you, even if its just in my kitchen with the dogs.

Dear Hailee Steinfeld… thank you for your new song Starving… I can’t stop blasting it in my car while I sing with the windows down… you rock, girl.

And Dear 80 degree November afternoon…I kind of really really like you. And I’m going to take you up on that run now…

Stay tuned for exciting things coming soon to The Autumn Girl! XOXO

'tis the season happiness holidays merry christmas
