Hey sweet friends! In this Christmas Decorate With Me 2025 (part 1), I’m starting where I always start—my kitchen. I already pre-cleaned and took down all of our Halloween decor the day after Halloween because I personally like to clean first and decorate after. Doing both at the same time is just not fun for me, so I save the decorating for when everything is fresh and ready. In this video, I’m hanging garland over the sink (with lights that were already connected from last year—so much easier), adding a Merry Christmas sign, and switching out my seasonal floral up top. The big change this year is finally adding garland on top of the kitchen cabinets (I’ve wanted to do this for years!), plus keeping my cabinet wreaths because I love how festive they look—even if some people think it’s “too much.” I also decorate my little flocked tree by the sink with new picks, add snowflake window decals, and keep my dining table simple since my son uses it for schoolwork. Small changes, big impact—and I’m obsessed with how cozy and warm everything feels.
