The leaves are turning, the temperatures
are dropping and it’s time to roll the clocks back an hour. All these things
are sure signs of the upcoming holiday season. While most women have budgets in
place to shop year round, this is the time of the year those budgets go out the
window and a handbag comes flying in. Thankfully, this is the season of giving
and we use this opportunity to our full advantage. Hosting spectacular holiday
dinners at your humble abode and catching as many Black Friday door busters as
you possibly can are just some of the reasons for the season.
Food,
Laughs and Libations
One
of the biggest holidays during the fall is Thanksgiving Day as many families
gather together to eat, drink and share each other’s company. It’s a joyous
occasion, but Thanksgivings does take a lot of preparation and time to pull off
successfully. Most women enjoy a challenge and what’s a better test of your
superwoman capabilities than cooking up a five star meal for your family and friends?
Of course there’s a lot of cleaning and organizing involved in getting your
home presentable for such a big occasion, but it’s also the perfect time to
show off your personal style a little bit. No matter what they say, every woman
wants to be viewed as having all of her ducks in a row so throw on that apron
and show them what you’re made of by throwing down in the kitchen.
Decorations
Galore
Each
passing holiday within this season calls for their own individualized decorations.
For Halloween, you may want to create the ultimate haunted house experience by
purchasing frightening figurines and spooky cob webs around your front door.
Thanksgiving usually makes a person think of the fall and is the perfect time
to switch out those bright summer colors for warm, cozy colors. Then the master
of all holidays, Christmas Day, when is the one time when it’s perfectly
acceptable to assemble faux reindeer and a mechanical Santa on your lawn. This
may sound like a lot of work but for us women, it’s more fun than it sounds.
Shopping,
Shopping and More Shopping
Next
to diamonds, shopping is a girl’s best friend. We can and will find any excuse
to go to the mall and there is no exception during the holidays; in fact, that
urge intensifies. Every little thing that catches our eye is a potential gift
that someone we know would love. Many stores will run promotions and sales just
to get you in the door- we all know the trick; and when something is cheap, we
buy as many as our little arms can hold. There’s nothing a woman
loves more than a sale so the little to nothing costs of Black Friday door
busters are right on time, every time.
In the midst of
all these things, you should not forget the true meaning behind the holidays.
They are meant to be spent with your loved ones and spread love, cheer and the
many gifts you've accrued throughout the season.
