Hi, I'm Ginny.

I run the Manhattan satellite office of Kringle, Inc. — which is a nice way of saying I've spent every year since I can remember making sure Christmas actually comes together, on schedule, without anyone's tree skirts clashing with their stockings.

Here's what that means for you: every ornament, wreath, advent calendar, and gift I put in front of you has been personally vetted — by me, in my apartment, usually while a Christmas movie plays in the background (and yes, that includes both “Die Hard” AND “The Christmas Star”). I don't post something because it's trending. I post it because I'd hang it on my own tree, or wrap it around my own personal gifts.

I start counting down in September (I know, I know — but someone has to), and I keep going until the last stocking is stuffed. If you want a second opinion before you commit to this year's tree theme, or you're not sure whether four kinds of Santa ornaments is "too many" (it's never too many), you're in the right place.

Consider me your very organized, slightly obsessive friend at the North Pole's New York desk. Let's get you ready.

— Ginny
