Who else feels a different level of happiness when it’s the Christmas season? Count me in on that because I’m one of the many mushy people who give so much appreciation for Christmas. I don’t know about you but there’s really something about the season that makes me feel hopeful and alive that my heart instantly warms even at the thought of it, (just like right now!).
And while we still can’t celebrate Christmas the way we all used to — large gatherings, gift-giving with friends and family, and all-night parties — there are tons of reasons to feel extra happy about, like Christmas decor hunting! Because ‘tis the season of sharing, allow me to give you a glimpse at these local shops I’ve come across upon searching for Christmas decorations!
