They say that behind every great man is a woman—and nowhere is that more true than in some of our favorite Christmastime stories. Which is why we want to make sure that the leading ladies we know get the cheer-filled Christmas they deserve.
The best way to light a lady’s tree during the holidays? An awesome gift that shows just how much you care, and we’ve pulled out all the stops with our Women’s Gift Guide this year: Think local jewelry, handy arm-candy bags and cute clothes to make the year ahead as chic as she is—whether she be mom, sister, aunt … or even yourself (Hey, it’s the season of giving, right?).
Looks like Christmas Eve is going to be a seriously stylish ladies’ night.
