A note from Gina
Why I made this list
A few Decembers ago, I went to buy the long garland and the shelf was bare. So was the one for the tall slim tree. I took home whatever was left, and our porch looked half-dressed until the week of Christmas. I felt it every time I pulled into the driveway.
That winter I started writing the dates down: what sells out first, which week to buy it, which room it belongs in. I kept the notebook next to the kettle and ticked things off, one store trip at a time.
Now our December is calm. The garland is up, the wreath is on the door, and the porch is glowing before the first guests ring the bell. My family finds me on the sofa with my tea, not in a checkout line.
This list is that notebook, cleaned up for you.
