Christmas was it's usual crazy self, complete with last minute shopping on Christmas eve (I discovered one of the gifts I'd purchased was damaged and had to run back to the store and make an exchange), and ended up being an hour and a half late for Christmas Eve; though in my defense I think three pm is much too early to start Christmas Eve.
Santa was good to me, the G By Guess Wonda Oxfords and the sweatshirt blazer from Express found their way under my tree, as well as a new coat, and enough Starbucks gift cards to last me through 2012. Some of my gifts accidentally got packed into my brothers car and went to his home out of state, so they sadly wont be appearing on the blog anytime soon...
Last week I won The Cohabitating Closet's Pineapple Mint giveaway, and the sweater I chose as my prize arrived on Christmas Eve and was packaged with a whole bunch of vintage belts - so fun!
We have so many Christmas cookies to eat, we only managed to put together two plates to giveaway. (Not that I'm going to complain).
Other than running out in the snow for a few minutes, my Sunday was just spent relaxing and watching movies. It's a Wonderful Life is truly one of the best movies ever. And I always cry.
Bless these snow boots. One of the smartest purchases I've made.

I hope you all had wonderful holidays, and if you are facing piles of snow and ice, are staying nice and warm cozy!
Love the snow pictures...your hat...the fuzzy shoes...and the beautiful Christmas tree...such fun!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful pictures and so nice to read of your beautiful Christmas.

Oh cookies, If I only lived near you, I'm already drooling, I am watching movies as I type, no need to get out of bed, this is THE life, if we only had a little snow...but it's a sunny day outside, feels more like the beggining of spring. I hope none of the clothes and shoes went with your brother!
ReplyDeleteyour photos in the snow are gorgeous, magazine quality no lie. I watched It's a Wonderful Life for the first time a few weeks ago and bawled, it will now be a part of every Christmas, its such a good film
