Giveaway is Closed
After much anticipation by all, the beautifully designed issues of Holiday magazine by Matthew Mead have arrived. After preordering earlier this year, I just received my copy in the last couple of days and have flipped through the gorgeous pages and will set aside time to read each and every entry. It’s 146 pages of pure Christmas magic and beauty and I really think that you’ll all enjoy it tremendously. It’s only available through the Holiday website at this time, no copies will be on the newsstands. This is the very first issue and we hope there are more!
Not your typical glossy magazine, this is really more of a book, with matte pages and beautifully photographed Christmas rooms and ideas. Chock full of crafts, recipes, vignettes and more, it is sure to be a book to turn to for Holiday inspiration for years to come.
Matthew is completely an artist when it comes to styling photos and vignettes. Second to none and you can see his well-known work all over the pages. Matthew has been involved in magazines for so many years and is a master. 
You’ll find loads of inspiration for your own Christmas style.
Page after page of beauty and tempting ideas.
And you won’t find all the ads in between stories like normal magazines. There are a few at the back and mostly small women-owned shops are featured. Several bloggers (including myself) are featured in a few pages and Christmas craft ideas from our blogs were used as inspiration. 
So, if you need some fresh new ideas this year, I think you’re in luck. Matthew and company have asked me to give away ONE copy of Holiday to one of you. If you already have a copy, please don’t sign up. I’d love for someone who does not already own one, to win this time!
Thanks so much! Just leave a comment and tell me what sort of ideas you have this year for Christmas decorating. Are you changing things up or doing what you always do?
Me, I always have to change things up some just to keep things fresh and new!
NOTE: If you are reading this by email subscription, please DO NOT email me back for the giveaway. As always, you will need to leave comments on THIS post to be eligible for the magazine! Thanks so much!
I’ve got a few giveaways going on this week and last, so bear with me. They’re all good ones, so I hope you enjoy. I’ll pick a winner on Wednesday evening.
We just bought a new home and I am so excited about decorating for Christmas!!!
Every year we get at least a 11 ft real tree (we only pay $30 at the local fire house) and are able to cut a couple of feet off the bottom to decorate with along with our holly. For the past 8 or so years, all we put on it is white lights, cranberries, and a few dark red balls. My kids don’t want any of their “old, icky, weird, childish” ornaments put on. The only thing with put under the tree is the nativity. The tree is big, beautiful, smells great and is the highlight of our decorating! I would love to win this giveaway because I need to be more inspired.
I would love a copy of this magazine! Beautiful pictures u shared and would love to see more! I love changing things up each year and look to magazines and blogs for inspiration!
Rhoda,
I have some traditional decorations that will probably always be part of my holiday decor, but love to add new touches each year. This would be a great resource. I’m looking forward to seeing your Christmas decorations this year!

This year I am changing my tree a little. I’m going toward a snowy theme and I have bought some new tree decorations. Oh, how I would love to win the book!
I would love to see the new Holiday magazine!
I recently found the box of Christmas decorations from my own childhood that I inherited after my dear father’s death. I can’t wait to dig into it and enjoy the sweet rememberances. Hopefully, some will still be in good enough shape to use on the mantle, etc.
What a nice giveaway. I love decorating for Christmas. I always end up changing things each year. That is because I’m a die-hard “garage saler” and find new things to add and/or trade out every single year. It’s so much fun. I would so love an issue of this magazine!
We’ll be living in a different home this Christmas and I am so excited to begin decorating. I’ll definitely use some old stand-bys but also looking for new ideas since I finally have a mantle!
Your pictures look very inspiring. I also love your blog!
I would love to win the Matthew Mead book! I thought this year I would change my decorating a bit. The book would be great for some inspiration for some new ideas. Thank you for the opportunity, Rhoda.
I need some inspiration! Would love to win this book…
Love your blog! Always something interesting to see!
Inspiration comes in the most interesting manners sometimes. Whether it be from a blog or a wonderful book such as Matthew’s it’s fun to see beautiful ideas that can be a help in decorating….so thankyou Rhoda and Matthew!! These are certainly gorgeous pictures!!!!
This year I have alot of decorations that were passed down to me that were my grandmother’s….so excited to put them in my home!
I would love a copy!
I’d love a copy, too! I like new ideas both for myself, and to share with my daughter and daughter-in-law. This is just our second year having Christmas in the RV, so I don’t know that we have a “same old thing” yet. I’ll probably change things up a little from last year, since we’ve definitely changed the space! Can’t wait until it’s time to decorate! 🙂
I love Christmas and can’t wait to start decorating! This year I’m wanting to add fresh greenery around the house. I think it would be a fresh and beautiful touch for the holidays!
I really really want to win!!! So beautiful!
I put your giveaway on my Tatertots FB page and twitter 🙂
