While the traditional debate of when to start decorating for Christmas rages on, Blackwell is unfazed by the discussions. For her, the transition from Halloween to Christmas happens seamlessly and swiftly. As her two children gear up for trick-or-treating, Blackwell is already envisioning a winter wonderland in her home. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, she revealed that her Halloween decorations come down right after the annual Halloween party, making way for Christmas decorations to go up promptly.
This year, Blackwell spared no expense, investing around $30,000 to create a vintage, spooky Vegas atmosphere in her Texas residence. While some might raise eyebrows at her early festive preparation, Blackwell has solid reasons behind her meticulous planning. As a full-time digital creator, she strategically plans ahead to ensure she has timely and engaging content for her followers. Additionally, with brand partnerships in the mix, quick turnarounds are a necessity in her line of work.
But Blackwell’s dedication to early Christmas decorating goes beyond just professional obligations. For her, completing the Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving allows her to fully immerse herself in the holiday spirit throughout December. By prioritising the festive décor early on, Blackwell ensures that she can make the most of the holiday season by spending quality time with loved ones and enjoying the warm glow of Christmas lights.
The influencer’s approach to holiday decorating has garnered admiration and scrutiny in equal measure. While some appreciate her meticulous planning and early start, others might find it premature. Nevertheless, Blackwell’s commitment to spreading holiday cheer and creating magical moments for her family and followers remains unwavering.
As the ‘Queen of Halloween’ sets her sights on Christmas well before the Halloween festivities have even wrapped up, her dedication to making the holiday season special shines through. With her home already transformed into a Christmas wonderland by the time others are just beginning to consider their decorations, Blackwell proves that when it comes to spreading festive joy, there’s no such thing as starting too early.
