Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful weekend to you all!!! Hope you have a relaxing time with friends and family, and sending you lots of love. (I'll be eating cookies and filling people's wine glasses:) If you're in a blog-reading mood, here are a few fun links from around the web...Dressing up in the great outdoors.
What a sweet letter to Santa.
The world's weirdest hotels.
Soap rocks.
Pretty shirt (on my wish list).
Funny confession.
White lights vs. colored Christmas lights = hot debate.
Erin's adorable new calendar.
Christmas around the world.
We were photographed for Downtown from Behind. Thank you, Bridget!
Finally, regarding wine etiquette, Laura left the smart comment: You should "never ask a guest if they'd like MORE wine, even if its his fifth glass. It's better to say 'Would you like SOME wine,' as if you're filling his glass for the first time." Good to know!
xoxo Lots of love! Have a great weekend, and see you next Tuesday.
