Elsie's Eight | December Edition

 Here at Elsie Green, we have cultivated a culture of extreme inspiration - good books, delicious recipes, photographs, films, and any and everything in between. 
We are all very nostalgic for our traditions and the month of December is when that really shines through. We wanted to share a round up of our favorite things to do this month with our friends and family.

Simple Pleasures

Simple Pleasures

"Make it simple, but significant."  - Don Draper

Those words have always resonated with me.  Now more than ever because I only have six days in December when all three of my children will be in the same state.

Countdown to Christmas | Advent Calendars

Countdown to Christmas | Advent Calendars

The advent calendar is my favorite Furber family Christmas tradition. But, we do a little differently than your usual 12 day countdown. The entire month of December, my mom leaves small presents every third day for each of us three kids. I'll start, then my brother, then my sister, and it repeats until the 24th. She leaves us little treats like nail polish, gift cards, or charitable donations, and it's the best thing to wake up to every day.

Rituals | The Christmas Tree

The Elsie Green team all agrees that Black Friday shopping is a no-go.  Instead we all use that day to do some volunteer work, then choose our trees.

Press Play | Rainy Days

We made you a playlist for chilly days when the mood calls for staying indoors with a good book and a glass of wine. Curl up on the sofa in your coziest loungewear and press play.

Our recent trip to France reignited our love affair with our favorite winter accessory; we spotted so many chic street style looks that were finished with an effortlessly styled scarf.

What Are You Drinking New Years Eve | NYE French 75

What Are You Drinking New Years Eve | NYE French 75

Champagne has long been the New Years Eve go-to effervescent drink, and while it's time to shake things up, tradition is still a wonderful thing to uphold. Champagne and its signature bubbles are still the stars of the show in our favorite NYE cocktail, The French 75.
