The night before Thanksgiving is really the calm before the season really takes off. So tonight, before the timers start going off and the to-do lists take over, I’m pouring a cup of Christmas coffee in a sentimental mug and giving myself 60 seconds to breathe. Because once tomorrow hits, we all know what happens. Family, food, travel, hosting, decorating, wrapping, gatherings, memories, a little exhaustion, and *a whole lot of joy.* This tiny ritual anchors me before the busiest stretch of the year begins. It’s a bit of a reminder that even the most ordinary moments, like a quiet kitchen, a warm cup, and a familiar mug, can steady you for everything that’s ahead. If you’re doing the same tonight… cheers to us. 
May tomorrow be full of gratitude and the rest of the season full of meaning. storykeeperstyle • • • • • • • Vintage Decor | Home Inspiration | Collected Home | Traditional Home | Sentimental Style | Curating Joy | The Sentimental Decorator | Joyful Rituals of Home | Sentimental Home | Homes with a Story sentimentalhome thesentimentaldecorator sentimentalstyle meaningfulhomedecor
