New England writer Mary Ellen Chase said, "Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind." And we couldn’t agree with her more!
Turning the calendar on the month of December tells us that Christmas is here, and we give a collective sigh of relief! The Decorator’s Warehouse family has been living, breathing, and dreaming of Christmas all year and the magic we feel in our store is now available for everyone to experience! In this year that needs hope and peace more than ever, we’re thrilled that you get to enjoy the spirit and wonder of the Christmas season.
