When does the holiday season officially begin? For retail stores it seems to be the day after Halloween, for social butterflies it’s the first party of the season, and for school-aged children it’s the last day of school before the winter break! This year the last day of school lands on December 23rd, so you can expect your little ones to be absolutely bursting with holiday joy for that entire week. The holidays continue until January 9th, so there’s lots of time for family fun. Here are some ideas to help you fill the holiday itinerary with your kids!

When you’re getting ready for the holidays, getting your home ready is a huge part of the process. From hiding the presents, to decorating the tree, to filling the fridge with all the holiday necessities, it takes a lot to get your home holiday-ready. Not to add even more to your plate, but you can’t forget about decorating outdoors as well! For some, this is the most important part of the holidays (have you seen Christmas Vacation?), making your front yard and home the brightest winter wonderland on the street. Here are some ideas to help you decorate outdoors this year.
When you walk into a person’s home there are lots of clues to give away their design aesthetic or the overall vibe of their home. Something as simple as a welcome mat (or lack of) can completely reveal the homeowner’s personality, and thus the personality of their home. This is why putting thought into your entryway is so important. The entryway of your home is essentially the first impression you give your guests. It sets the tone for the space, and gives people a taste of what’s to come as they delve further into your home. Here are 10 entryways we found and fell in love with.
You can always count on stores to remind you about the impending holiday season. Upon waking up the day after Halloween, most shops will have updated their decor and stock with tinsel, ornaments, and balsam boughs. Despite thinking, ‘It’s too soon!’, you can’t help but feel a slight tinge of panic when you realize you have (understandably) not started your holiday shopping yet.
While summer provides hot days at the beach, and winter, a great chance to hit the slopes, fall is simply just beautiful. As the season changes, as do the breathtaking colours that surround us. Brampton is a great place to find amazing fall colours. Whether it’s at Heart Lake Conservation Area, downtown, or on one of the many trails, the city of Brampton will get you that fall photo you so desperately want. No Instagram grid, or Facebook album between the months of September and November is complete without capturing those orange and crimson hues of autumn. Here’s a look at the season in Brampton through your eyes!
