As the holiday season unfolds, it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle. Between the endless to-do lists, shopping, and festivities, it can feel overwhelming at times. That’s why I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to focus on some cheerful happenings this week to brighten your day and spark some inspiration.
The Joy of the Season
One of my absolute favorite aspects of this time of year is the spirit of generosity that seems to be everywhere. The holiday season brings people together in extraordinary ways, encouraging acts of kindness and moments of giving. While I’ve already shared how much joy I get from Christmas photo cards (seriously, they’re such a highlight!), this week, I’m thrilled to be part of something even more meaningful.
A Week of Giving Back
This year, I’m honored to join Amanda of Prim and Propah in her annual Week of Giving Back, an event that exemplifies the true meaning of the season. Each day this week, a group of bloggers comes together to make donations to reputable and worthwhile charities. What’s even better? Some amazing brands are sponsoring this initiative with incredible giveaways to make your season even brighter.
For today’s giveaway, visit Prim and Propah, where you can enter to win a fabulous set of skincare products valued at over $100! Alongside the giveaway, Amanda has spotlighted a different charity each day, giving you the chance to learn about impactful causes and consider supporting them if you’re able. A huge thank you to Amanda for organizing this inspiring week it’s a privilege to participate in something so uplifting!
Christmas Home Tours Are in Full Swing
Another delightful event happening online this week is one of my holiday favorites: Christmas home tours! These tours are a wonderful way to get a glimpse into beautifully decorated spaces, each showcasing unique styles and creative holiday inspirations. This year, Jenny at Evolution of Style has teamed up with Amy and Christy from 11 Magnolia Lane to host the 12 Days of Holiday Homes, generously sponsored by Lynch Creek Farm.
