Sipping coffee and watching it snow has been the name of the game for me today. As we head into the weekend, I am so excited that it looks like we’re definitely on track to have a white Christmas! With the holidays officially just a few days away, Tom and Jerrys at The Crystal (a completely charming and festive tradition in my hometown) are in order as is spending lots of time with my favorite people. Of course, last minute cookie baking, present fetching and gift wrapping will be on the agenda, too. Posting will be lighter next week, but I’ll be popping in with a few last ideas for all of your New Year’s Eve celebrations and a little look back at 2012. Until then, wishing you and yours the merriest of holidays! xoxo
