The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

nullnullnull


Good morning, loves! How was your weekend? Hope you all had a wonderful one.

I had a good one but am finally starting to feel a bit of the holiday crunch. I can't really complain, it's still relatively mellow compared to every other year, but I didn't really have much downtime. Just focusing on getting ready for the festivities that we will be hosting in less than a week. I have to admit that I did get to squeeze in a ghost walk of lower Manhattan and a screening of Rudolph and Frosty on Sunday night so it wasn't all work and no fun. :)

And there's some more holiday fun yet to come. Tonight we're going to see Handel's Messiah at Carnegie Hall. I've never been and have always wanted to see it so I'm really excited!

Have a wonderful day, sweets!

xoxo

    Love this pink Christmas post, darling Dawn ... good to hear that you're fitting in a little fun in your busy schedule. I went out of town this weekend to meet up with some family and we went to see The Nutcracker ... that was a nice kick-off of a fun weekend! Hope your holiday season is very very MERRY, sweetie! xoxo

    Handel's Messiah! How fun! I didn't even know about it, I've been dying to see the nutcracker, I hope it happens. I'm feeling a little bit of the crunch too, but keeping mariah carey's christmas album on seems to help. xo
