Transitioning Your Decor from Thanksgiving to Christmas Seamlessly

You do not have to pack autumn away on Friday night and build Christmas on Saturday. Change one area at a time.

Keep the neutrals

Cream, wood, and greenery work in both seasons. The pumpkins are what date the room.

Swap one thing

Replace the pumpkin on the mantel with a length of evergreen. Leave the candles.

The table last

Eat the leftovers first. Set the Christmas table the following weekend.

Store in the same bins

If the fall bin is labelled, the switch back next year takes an hour.
