"Chestnuts roasting on an open fireJack Frost nipping at your noseYuletide carols being sung by a choirAnd folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoeHelp to make the season brightTiny tots with their eyes all aglowWill find it hard to sleep tonight..."

Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song

This holiday season looks a little different, and I mean that quite literally. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the  crunchy leaves and 70 degree days in December– that's both awesome and ridiculous. However, this is my first holiday season without snow and that's a big deal.

Growing up in Alaska, I only had one birthday without snow, and my birthday comes before Thanksgiving. To me the holidays are a cozy season by the fire with a warm drink. Christmas music is always in the background (more about that here) and the Christmas tree is always lit. Big sweaters, leggings, and boots are essentials, and fuzzy beanies feel like a December hug. It's the little things like these that make this time of year my favorite.

The hubs and I will be headed home for the holidays in just a week, and I can't tell you how excited I am to replace this backdrop with mountaintops and snow. Follow on Instagram, and I'll show you what I mean ;)

I'd love to hear how you spend your holidays! Use hashtag #HowDoYouHoliday...

... It's beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEverywhere you goThere's a tree in the Grand HotelOne in the park as wellThe sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like ChristmasSoon the bells will startAnd the thing that will make them ringIs the Carol that you singRight within your heart...

- It's Begining to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Michael Buble

Happy Monday! And what Monday couldn't be brightened by some holiday cheer?...

Music is a huge part of my life, but come December it's all-encompassing. In this family the Christmas celebrations begin the morning after Thanksgiving– no excuses! In fact, that morning typically begins with a desperate search for the local Christmas station, after which you can bet I'll be draging my husband's butt to the tree lot for the biggest set of branches we can squeeze through our front door. This girl LOVES December!

This week on Glitterary I've teamed up with Vineyard Vines to share a little bit about how I holiday, including three holiday looks tied to some of my favorite Christmas songs! Trust me, excited doesn't even begin to descibe how I feel about this combination! Vineyard Vines' holiday line is reliably a beautiful blend of classic and modern, so the styling project was a piece of cake! One quick tip: make sure to check out the men's shop. Being slightly taller, I've always loved the loose fit of their menswear & the torso and sleeve lengths are perfect!..

I'd love to hear what your family traditions are and how you like to holiday!

Stay tuned for more... xo
