Christmas is Coming & A Giveaway!
Christmas is exactly 7 weeks from today! I know many of you have Christmas pictures scheduled, Santa visits planned, Christmas parties to attend, and many other holiday events on your calendars. With that in mind, I want to update you on the expected ship dates of our Christmas Pre-Orders.
Our Christmas Angel Dress and our And To All A Good Night collection will be the next to ship. I anticipate them heading to you on Thursday, November 9th. Then, our Woodland collection should ship on Friday, November 10th and Monday, November 13th. (Side note--just this past weekend the dress sold out in size 8. The longall and shirt are also sold out in multiple sizes. Don't wait if this collection is on your wishlist).
Next up is our Santa Loungewear including the matching doll sets. WOW! It may take us 3 months to ship all of these to you. Just Kidding! My team is the best (truly, y'all--I am so blessed). Shipping these will be a major undertaking, but I anticipate having all orders shipped by November 15th. :)
Rounding out our Christmas Pre-Orders are the following collections: Smocked Nativity, Country Christmas, Green Gingham, Red Knit Loungewear, and Smocked Milk and Cookies. I don't have exact ship dates for these collections, but they are due to ship to us this week, and I anticipate ALL orders shipping by Tuesday, November 21.
Are you still with me? I know that was a lot! Before moving on to the giveaway, let me add there are lots of IN STOCK Christmas collections as well. Smocked Santa, Smocked Nutcracker, and Gingham Tree to name a few. All of these will ship immediately.
Now for the Giveaway! It's VERY simple to enter. Just leave a comment sharing about one of your favorite holiday traditions. I'll go first. Every Christmas Eve we throw a party for my husband's side of the family. While the actual party is always fun, preparing for it with my husband and children is my favorite. The tradition of cooking together, pulling out our special Christmas dishes, listening to Christmas music...I just love it. Is it messy? Yes. Is it a ton of work? Yes. Does it bring me unmeasurable joy? Yes, Yes, Yes! :) My Smocked Milk and Cookies collection was actually inspired by this holiday favorite of mine.
I look just like this sweet boy when someone hands me a cookie! ;)
Now it's your turn! What is one of your favorite holiday traditions? Leave a comment, and you'll be entered into a giveaway for a $20 shop credit! Winner will be announced here on Friday, November 10th.
Thanks for stopping by!
XO, Jessie

My babies are young, 5, 3, and 7 months so we are just beginning our Christmas traditions. My favorite right now would have to be baking our gingerbread house from scratch and decorating it together. I hope the smell of molasses and cinnamon will always bring back fond memories of their childhood Christmases for them!
We always attended Christmas Eve mass as a family then came home to enjoy a few treats & get ready for Santa’s arrival. Every Christmas Eve we were to open one present which was always Christmas PJ’s. We have carried in this tradition with our children!
A favorite holiday tradition is taking my oldest to see the Nutcracker, a date day out, just her and Mommy. I can remember the magic of going to see the play as a child with my mom, an annual tradition to get dressed up, eat somewhere fancy and attend the play. And now my older can appreciate the magic and continue this annual tradition.
Growing up, my parents would let us open up one gift on Christmas Eve and my husband and I are continuing that tradition with our daughters!
I have SO many favorite Christmas traditions but one that sticks out to me is picking out a Christmas ornament for our tree, and decorating our tree as a family while Christmas music plays and we bake cookies! I also love sharing the story of Jesus with our little one with an advent book we bought her for her first Christmas, she is four now and enjoys hanging the small books on the tree!
