Tabbitha’s Lineup
Hobby: Don’t Wreath Me Hangin’!
There’s nothing I love more than the holiday season, and jumping into the decorating process is always my favorite part! Creating beautiful, custom wreaths for my family and friends has become my absolute favorite Christmas tradition. It’s such a relaxing and fun DIY activity—I love putting on a cozy movie or show and getting lost in the process of shaping the perfect design. Last year, I had extra fun creating this festive piece specifically for my amazing, gnome-loving best friend! Seeing the finished, personalized product ready for gifting is truly the best part of the holidays.
Travel:
This year, our family is excited to be heading back home to Illinois for the holidays, eager to visit with family and friends. There’s something truly special about Chicago; it’s one of those places that wraps you in a warm embrace and instantly feels like home, no matter how much time has passed since your last visit. Coupled with the crisp winter weather and the city’s signature, over-the-top holiday decorations, being there makes you feel like you’ve stepped right into the middle of a classic Christmas movie. The whole city sparkles with an almost cinematic, unforgettable festive magic.
Entertainment:
Every holiday season, we make sure to cuddle up and watch all of our favorite Christmas classics, but the real fun lies in discovering a fantastic new addition to the lineup. Last year, we struck gold with a movie called Dashing through the Snow, which delivers a truly fun and unexpected twist on the typical holiday fare.

Traditions:
One of our absolute favorite ways to bring in the holiday season is by visiting Illuminations at Botanica every year. This tradition provides the perfect opportunity to get out of the house, enjoy the crisp winter air, and immerse ourselves in the breathtaking display of holiday lights. Each year, Botanica manages to outdo themselves; there’s always something brand new—a stunning new installation or a clever lighting design—that captivates us and reminds us of the magic of the season. It truly is a spectacular way to create lasting holiday memories.
Show/Music:
If you are looking for high-quality children’s programming, look no further! The beloved classic picture book, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, has been beautifully adapted into an Amazon Prime Original that is an amazing watch with your children. It captures the simple, warm wonder of the book, making it a wonderful way to celebrate the magic of winter. The show also features a stunning, unexpected score “Snowy Day,” performed by the renowned group Boyz II Men. Their signature, flawless harmony, making it a treat for parents and kids alike.
