Getting in the Holiday Spirit

As soon as November 1st rolls around, the McGee family is ready to welcome in the Christmas season. While that may mean several days of work, loads of hauling boxes from the basement, and precariously hanging wreaths and garlands, we are fully invested. The snow is just starting to stick (I don’t fully know how to feel about that) and it is beautiful. We are definitely in a holiday mood!

The team and I found our way to our local Target to get an in-person look at our newest Threshold x Studio McGee collection, just in time for the holidays.

With all of the holiday decor going up at our house, I have hosting at the top of my mind. There’s a sale on all my favorite dining essentials right now, making it the perfect time to get your holiday tablescape prepped and ready. Check out our guide for a perfect place setting here.

The snow already has me feeling nostalgic for summer rain showers, like the one we experienced at our M&Co x Loeffler Randall shoot earlier this year. But, really, the messy weather made for the most beautiful lighting that really put the collection on display. (And this bowl is perfect for holiday gifting.)

For November, I’m fully embracing the magic of the holiday season, drawing inspiration from the warmth and tradition that this time of year brings. I’m starting with a classic holiday color palette—deep forest greens paired with rich, timeless reds. This combination instantly evokes a sense of coziness and nostalgia, perfect for setting the tone throughout the home. I’m incorporating these hues into every detail, from lush faux greenery that brings a touch of nature indoors, to elegant bow embellishments that add a festive and refined touch.

This is the time of year when the leadership team for SM gets together to plan for 2025. Knowing we would be deep in planning for the entire day, I opted for a cozy and polished vibe. This sweater fits the bill perfectly.
