I don’t know what has come over me but I am SO excited for Christmas this year! The other day I looked longingly at my calendar and asked my husband if it would be bad if I just flipped it over to December already.
I know people can get annoyed when Christmas creeps into November but I can’t help myself!
My decorations are up, all of my gifts are ordered and on their way, my christmas cards are ready to be sent out, I have all my Christmas candles lit, the music is playing… I’m ready!!
This year I ordered my cards from Minted. They have an AMAZING selection of beautifully designed cards. It was almost impossible to decide! I was ecstatic when they arrived last week in the mail. Minted is seriously awesome. Stay tuned later this month for a special giveaway from them.
I was also able to come across some beautiful wrapping paper at Home Goods last week.
The faux crocodile one is my favorite.
I ordered some pretty gift tags from this etsy seller.
I know, I know it’s only half-way through November. I do have wonderful Thanksgiving plans so I’m not totally neglecting it. I am just making sure I am prepared for next month!
Your holiday cards are amazing, Kirsten!
I think your Christmas cards are perfection! I am headed directly over to Minted. I also love that wrapping paper…
I'm not sure if it's because we are trying to sell our house, but I just haven't gotten the Christmas bug yet.
I so have the bug. Fantastic card. And that faux crocodile paper would look so cute lining a white tray, too. LOVE IT.
I hope some of your and other's enthusiasm rubs off on me. I am notoriously last minute on everything.
What?!? You are waaaay ahead of me!!!
Can not wait for girls to come home! Your Christmas cards are great. Will head over to minted right now. Thank you
I love Thanksgiving way too much to start Christmas already – but you are ahead of the gant!
lovely post, your friends and family would be so happy to receive their goodies.
I am so there with you on the whole 'can it be the day after Thanksgiving' so I am able to decorate!!
I also got the same wrapping paper from HomeGoods – in silver and red! Can't wait to start wrapping

getting ready? i would say you are done!
I think it's fine to have everything decorated before thanksgiving, who made that silly rule anyways?
This post has me so excited for Christmas!! I love your Christmas cards and those gift tags!
I am SO jealous that you're so organized – I am so far behind this year! I've used minted before and they are indeed terrific – great quality AND customer service. I love those little tags you found on etsy!
I love Minted. The tough part is deciding which one to use …. I've spent hours on that site, and no order yet!
Beautiful! You've inspired me to get on the wrapping! I just posted some beautiful photographs from etsy – check them out http://www.lovinthat.blogspot.com
I'm a new follower and really enjoying your blog.
OHMY Thank you so much for sharing Minted with us. I just went on there. Must get the holiday cards from there.
Maybe this year we will even get pictures of us on there- As opposed to the regular picture of our dog.
I am super psyched for the holidays this year too.
just ordered a set of those gift tags. my presents are all sitting on the dining room table now, ready to be wrapped! 🙂 glad to know i'm not the only one.. getting everything done early allows me to enjoy the process and be at peace when christmas time comes! 🙂
I love your Christmas cards! What a cutie you have (: My family is in the middle of trying to get our cards squared away. And great tip on where to find wrapping paper…Home Goods!
I just ordered the gift tags! Love them- thx for the tip. And your Xmas cards are so cute! Happy holidays.
I MUST go to Home Goods to track down some of that faux crocodile wallpaper. AM IN LOVE!!!
Off to order some of those tags – soooo cute!
Thanks for the heads up!

The cards look great and so does the wrapping paper! : )
You're decorations are up?! ha! I'm so in the spirit too- I got a new classic Christmas CD and I'm loving listening to it in the car already! Your Christmas cards came out so great! Such a fun time of year with a little babe around!
I love the things you've chosen! A lot of people I know are "feeling" Christmasy early this year. The talking heads say it's because the last two holiday seasons have been downers and now we are truly feeling the need to pick ourselves up. I love seeing all the holiday decor. It makes me happy!
