It’s that time of year again … it’s 6 months to Christmas Day, so MERRY HALFMAS! This halfway mark is also known as National Leon Day — ‘Leon’ is ‘Noel’ spelled backwards.

I can’t wait until Hallmark Movies & Mysteries kicks off their Gold Crown Christmas holiday programming this Friday, June 28th.  Will you be watching? Let’s #StayMerry all summer! 🎄☀️

Stay merry!

Can you believe there are only 200 days until Christmas!?!

You know what that means – Christmas in July is less than a month away! I can’t wait to check out the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament preview in stores …and enjoy the holiday programming at home!

There’s no time like the 🎁 present 🎁 to #StayMerry! 🎄

Stay merry!

6 MONTHS FROM TODAY, SANTA WILL BE ON HIS WAY! 🎅

Wow, can you believe it?! It feels like just yesterday I was taking down my trees, and now we’re officially at the halfway point to Christmas Day — Merry “Half-mas” aka National Leon Day (psst: Leon is NOEL spelled backward)!  We better start planning for the holidays STAT, because it goes by likethat!

I’ll be drinking a peppermint hot chocolate milkshake while I blast some carols and maybe pop in a holiday movie or two tonight — what are you doing to celebrate?!

Stay merry!

In exactly six months we will be opening Christmas presents, spending time with loved ones, watching holiday movies, munching on jolly treats and watching festive movies because it will be Christmas Day!  Why wait until December to get in the spirit though? Spend this halfway point, otherwise known as ‘Halfmas’, by blasting your holiday music playlist or popping in a DVD of your favorite Christmas movie. No matter how you celebrate today, I hope it’s filled with joy!

Stay merry!

There are only 183 days left until Christmas… and even LESS until the start of the holiday season. The most wonderful time of the year is on its way, so I think this calls for a mini holiday celebration today — don’t you? I’ve put together four festive tips to get you in the spirit!
