Welcome to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.

Hello everyone, welcome to Dear Alice!

Today we're going to be talking about tips to transform your home for the holidays.

It's that time, I know!

And this could be anything, this could be your Thanksgiving, your Hanukkah, your Christmas,

whatever it is that you guys believe in and want to celebrate new years.

Yeah, it's just a way of making our homes film more.

I don't know, it's just welcoming, I feel like this is the time of year where it's like

for us in Utah it's cooling down in December and we're like getting warmer,

and some of our favorite holiday traditions and ways to just make your house merry-year.

Yes, cheers!
