Holidays Rushing Toward Us

This last respite of warm weather, and all of it's glory has been so good for my soul. I have enjoyed it with gusto, used it to accomplish goals, embraced the weather and basked in the sun whenever I could. So now tomorrow's colder temps and storms rushing in will be welcome, as change is welcome in our lives. The holiday season is fast approaching and Holiday Decor season is closing in on Christy Collection Inc. My dates are set, and installs are all scheduled, with adjustments and changes noted with each client. I love this time of year. I get to connect with all of my happy decor clients and plan their family holiday celebrations, support their parties, and get organized for the holidays with a cast of many. This year the theme that is most popular is an elegant family traditional theme. Golds, silvers, bronze, and copper are being accented with lots of white, and pearl. Red is always popular, but this year it has ebbed a bit and seems to becoming deeper, more cranberry.

Garlands are being decorated with fruits and berries. Trees are glowing with white lights (mainly) and natural accents of nature, pine cones, floral accents, deeper metallics and moss greens. Lots of very tall trees. Lusher mantles, with candle light and floor touching boughs. Coordinated exterior entryways, with heavy embellished garlands, wreaths, with natural accents, and deeper metallic details.

Many of my holiday decor clients entertain all season. Family parties, office parties, luncheons, wine tastings, intimate family dinners, and the private family hearth where presents are opened and Christmas morning happens.

It is so much fun to be invited in to help make these parts of our clients homes special, and maintain family traditions as familes grow, change, and include friends as well.

As the flurry of holiday planning starts, remember to take time to nurture yourself. Set aside down time for just enjoying your home, your small circle of freinds that are the closest to you, and quiet time with your family to see your home early in the morning, late in the evening and as you get ready for sleep. These are the times that children remember the most.

And then of course in early January Christy Collection swoops in, takes everything down, stores it off site, and leaves your home back to normal with no visible signs that we were there at all. That is the service that we provide for Columbus, and have been doing this for many years. That is how we leave you time to enjoy, energy to make it through, and fresh new ideas for next year.
