I think I might jump in here. I’ve only attempted a December project once before. This is my DD’s senior year of HS so I thought it might be a good opportunity to document all our traditions.

Almost last but definitely not least, Christmas Words Chipboard Diecut (ACOT has these currently listed wrong and swapped the images with the Christmas Circles so I hope they correct this quickly for those wanting to pre-order these items, tagging Matt at ACOT in case something can be done about the mistake): Oops, looks like the images Mintay provided were reversed on those. I've got them switched for now and we'll make sure the item numbers all line up so we're shipping what people are expecting. Thanks! |

They look like wood pieces. I thought at first they were chipboard but when I zoom in I don’t think so. |

I gotta say I love this sneek. Eating junk and watching rubbish. That's my Christmas! |

Oh Ali, you had me at “Watching junk and eating rubbish…” And to think I considered going another route with my DD. Ha.

I've already used that Kevin McCallister quote multiple times in my DD so I don't feel the need to add it again as a matte puffy/pleather embellishment. I like the painted houses but stockings are not a Christmas tradition in my nook of the world (although I love fabric stickers). And the reds don't match.  The Booty jury is still out.  |

I wish sabbaticals were a thing in my line of work. I'd love six months off to focus on crafty projects. Maybe Santa can bring me that for Christmas. |

Maybe it’s the colors, but the Ali sneak is giving me a Elle’s Studio vibe 🤷🏻♀️

I love the sneaks from Ali! I placed an order from ACOT a bit back for Christmas items still waiting on them to come in. Some CP, Simple Stories and Vicky Boutin.

I'm just here for the gifs.
No intention of doing DD. My attempt last year made me realize I just do not like it much and scrapping holidays as a whole. It's just not like that special time for me like some others. I will still make a few layouts and my intention this year is to finally get caught up on some that have been hanging around for a couple years.
But I like to read all of your excitement about it!

I'm kind of the same. I like to see what everyone is chatting about and gif-ing, but at most I will do a digital book with almost no embellishment, Journal Your Christmas inspired with a bit of 30 days of lists thrown in, maybe. I'm not even really in the market for card supplies this year, at least not until I finish my WIP piles of cards. |

the first Hallmark Christmas movie will air on Saturday October 23rd Good grief - October 30th wasn't early enough for them?! I guess they have a LOT of movies to premiere this year... They'll have to start the cozy sweater weather fall harvest romances in September. |

Fall Harvest films begin September 11th 🙊🙈 lol I'm not going to give Hallmark shit here because, technically, autumn begins at the moment of the September equinox, between Sept. 21 and 24, in the Northen hemisphere. Alright, Hallmark, you found the loophole! |

They'll have to start the cozy sweater weather fall harvest romances in September. You know, joblackford , I think our brains are just tricking us. Hallmark has a tradition of showing the first Countdown to Christmas movie on the last weekend of October but we just forget about it year after year. Like some sort of self-protecting psychological reflex...  I checked and first Christmas movie in 2020? October 24. In 2019? October 25. In 2018? October 26. And year upon year, we moan about it in this thread, Statler and Waldorf style, myself included.   |

Italian home décor brand TonoSUTono have to prep Christmas collections far ahead so everything can get shipped to vendors worldwide but I love that they post glimpses of their showroom on their public YT channel and don't go unlisted as many other brands do. It looks like classic red Tartan is making a major comeback and I'm so happy about that!
For anyone wanting to get a little in the December mood, here's a look at their 2021 showroom:

I saw all the '100 days til Halloween posts' on social media a couple of weeks ago during Hallmark Christmas in July and remembered that they screen those (maybe specifically the summer premiere Xmas movie? and the reveal of the new keepsake ornament?) 100 days before their 2 month Christmas extravaganza begins. |

I love the AE sneak. I'm not doing a whole DD album this year, just a spread in my regular PL album. I'm not planning on getting a kit but I may pick up a few things. |

THIS IS TERRIBLE LOL
I have zero chill and I am all over this kit.
those puffy stickers? what looks like red felt.. numbers maybe, like the white from last year? that transparency? what might look like ACTUAL WHITE CARDSTOCK?? (.. on second thought maybe no, kinda cream in their stories) even that stitched thing that looks a bit odd and will only work for specifically holding tags isn't the worst.
Oh no oh no this is terrible for me.
