Photos with Santa

Come tell Santa all you wish for this Christmas! The event will be held in Santa’s holiday home in front of the awe-inspiring 30-foot-tall Christmas tree (on the lower level near H&amp;M). Buddy the Elf will make an appearance alongside other beloved winter characters as part of a fun photo booth experience for guests. The event will also feature a host of exciting activities just for kids, including a photo frame craft (to hold their photo booth image), face painting, balloon twisting, a coloring station, a hot chocolate station, winter cupcakes and a free Santa hat for attendees (crafts, food and Santa hats available while supplies last). Check out the letter writing station where children can write and send their own letters directly to the North Pole. A few surprise winners will receive one of their wish list items from Santa after the event. *This event is free of charge and open to the public; no pre-registration is required.&nbsp;

Share the Warmth at Valencia Town Center!

Start with a mood. Before decorating, think about the feeling you want your gathering to have. Imagine whether you prefer a cozy, rustic table filled with natural textures and candlelight or a sleek, modern setting with crisp lines and soft neutrals. Let your vision guide the palette and materials you choose. Deep earth tones add warmth, metallic accents bring sophistication, and soft neutral layers create a calm, understated elegance.Layer your textures. A beautiful table feels collected rather than coordinated. Mix materials such as linen, wood, glass, and ceramic to add depth and visual interest. Try using a table runner over a simple cloth, or stack plates of different tones and finishes. The combination of textures creates an inviting, relaxed charm that feels both effortless and intentional.Bring nature to the table. Seasonal elements are the easiest way to bring warmth and authenticity. Small pumpkins, fall leaves, pinecones, or sprigs of greenery can transform a table into something special. A vase filled with branches adds height and movement, while scattered fruit or herbs bring color and freshness to the setting.Play with light. Lighting creates instant atmosphere. Use a mix of candle heights for a soft, glowing effect or incorporate string lights and lanterns for a gentle shimmer that lasts throughout the evening. The right lighting makes any table feel more welcoming and intimate.Add a personal touch. The smallest gestures make the biggest impression. Write simple name cards by hand, tuck a note of thanks under each napkin, or tie a sprig of rosemary with ribbon. These thoughtful details make every guest feel appreciated and turn a shared meal into a cherished memory.This Thanksgiving, focus on creating a table that reflects the warmth of the season. It is not about perfection but about gathering, sharing, and celebrating the moments that matter most.

From rich autumn tones to thoughtful finishing touches, Thanksgiving is the perfect excuse to get creative at the table. Here’s how to design a setting that feels as warm and welcoming as the meal itself.

There is something grounding about working with your hands, especially when the world outside feels a little too fast. A night in can be more than just watching TV or ordering takeout. It can become a creative retreat filled with inspiration and calm energy.Crafting is not just about the finished product. It can be a form of mindfulness, a way to de-stress, and a fun reminder of your own creative spark. The secret is to keep things simple and enjoyable. You do not need fancy supplies or expert skills. All it takes is curiosity and a willingness to try something new.Start with something tactile like air-dry clay or simple hand-stitching. You might also enjoy a nostalgic project like friendship bracelets, which are just as relaxing as you remember. If your space could use a refresh, try making a painted mug or a homemade candle holder that doubles as cozy decor.The best part is that there are no rules. Grab a soft blanket, turn on some music you love, and enjoy the quiet magic of creating with your own hands.Paint a Mug Use porcelain markers or acrylics to customize a plain mug - perfect for tea or gifting.Try Hand-Stitching Embroidery kits or simple mending projects are surprisingly meditative.DIY Candle Jars Decorate old jars with twine, pressed flowers, or glass paint for cozy ambiance.Make a Bracelet Use beads, thread, or even string to create your own wearable art.

These easy, satisfying projects help you unwind, unplug, and make something beautiful.

When the air turns crisp and the days get shorter, our bodies and minds naturally crave a shift in pace. Cooler weather invites us to embrace comfort, warmth, and mindfulness. This season, give yourself permission to slow down and create small, meaningful routines that nurture your well-being.Start with your skin - dry, windy air can strip it of moisture. Switching to a richer moisturizer or adding a hydrating serum can make all the difference. Consider body oils post-shower to lock in hydration and leave your skin glowing even under layers of sweaters.Self-care in cooler months also means warming from the inside out. Make time for slow sips - herbal teas, spiced lattes, or golden milk are perfect companions for quiet moments. Better yet, try a weekly “tea ritual” where you unplug and just be still for a few minutes.Don’t forget to move. While it’s tempting to stay curled up, gentle movement like yoga or stretching helps ease stiffness and boost circulation - and it feels extra rewarding when followed by a hot bath or shower.Most importantly, listen to what your body and mood need this season. Self-care isn’t about a checklist, it’s about being kind to yourself, even in the smallest ways.

As temperatures drop, it's the perfect time to slow down, recharge, and focus on taking care of yourself. From warm drinks to skin-saving rituals, here’s how to make the most of the chillier months with intentional self-care.
