Christmas Greetings

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!

-Charles Dickens, 1836

Her Pup & Excellent Style

The Blogger

Her Hubby 

Isn’t she and her little family darling??

I love her blog and check it weekly and don’t mind the language barrier.  

((Charming))

Scored this jewel at my favorite antique shop, Anne’s Tiques & Collectables.

In. Love.

I can wear it at endless lengths.

Emma gifted this to me from a small town around her ((old!!!)) job at camp.

Isn’t she gorgeous!!?!!

At the same shop I found this bejazzeled beret covered in gold rounded studs, that I am more than thrilled about. 

I love the little treasures in life.

Santa’s Knee

Today was spent with my fam listening to Christmas carols, grabbing lunch, and sitting on Santa’s knee.  It has been a tradition since birth that my two brothers and I sit on Santa’s lap for a picture to be framed and placed on The Table.  Around Thanksgiving my Mommah starts decorating and this means all the Santa photos come out.  They are so funny to look at and to remember all those years of going to the mall to take a photo with some cheesy looking Santa Claus.  It makes Mom smile and its a tradition, so I don’t complain. Oh and the parents stand in the gawd awful line while the bros and I walk around and shop :))

Love it. 

Made of Wreaths

This is what I wore last night to visit my fav bar, Egans, for their Christmas party.  We didn’t stick around long before walking over to The Red Shed and playing many games of foosball which was good fun despite getting whopped. Since it never rained we rode out bikes and after leaving the bars went to the Quick Grill for some yummy fries (I only treat myself to french fries every so often, and it’s usually after a night of boozing)..hehe.  

This dress was so comfy that I really wanted to wear it to bed, but didn’t since it smelled of cig smoke.  I also have never worn my hair out like this and enjoyed it very much.  I have not mastered this do, but am getting the hang of it.  

Have a splendid Saturday, 

I will be out at the lake tonight for dinner with the fam
