AB: We start the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving. And I am holding my daughter off even then – she’d start on Halloween.

K: Holiday beverage of choice?
AB: Ice cold champagne.

K: Best holiday movie ever?

K: Where do you usually celebrate the holidays?
AB: Our home in San Francisco for Christmas and then we all head off in an enormous clatter to our family cabin on Lake Tahoe for skiing and our annual New Year’s Eve raclette party.

K: How has your holiday home style evolved over the years?
AB: Just more layers, more of everything! We are now at two Christmas trees, garlands up the stairs, twinkly wreaths in every window and forced paperwhites galore. It’s a lot! I do love that when we trim the tree, my kids retell the story behind every ornament and we use special family mementos as decorations, like the glass bunny my late nana had on her bedside table and our old silver baby cups.

K: Rainbow or White lights?
AB: What? White lights only please. I am unreasonable on this point.

K: Favorite holiday floral to use?
AB: Magnolia garland (with wide pale blue velvet bows up the stairs.)

K: Three words to describe your holiday style:
AB: Abundant, Familial, Pretty.

AB: Real. I live for the smell!

K: Why do you love Kassatex as a gifting source?
AB: Kassatex has the most amazingly luxurious towels and sheets. Beautifully made and soft, they feel like heaven against your skin. It’s a gift that will make anyone feel like a million bucks.
