day fourteen

hello darlings!  if you're like me, then you didn't sleep a wink last night with the anticipation and excitement of Christmas day.  Sleeping on Christmas eve is something i have struggled with since i was a young girl.  I am truly blessed, with my family and friends, on a daily basis, and especially blessed to have spent it with them this Christmas eve at work and Christmas day. 

Whether your tree was 3 ft like mine, or 9 ft tall, I hope your day was absolutely magical and santa was good to you all -- you deserve it.

Warm blessings to you, your family and friends.

Merry Christmas.

the very best, always,

alexandra

day thirteen

busy busy busy! i realize i have taken quite the hiatus from blogging but it's all with good reason. this past weekend i had a very big event -- brunch with santa. from decorating cookies to making sure the chafers were perfect, i have not stopped moving.

check out pictures from the event! all in all i was pleased with the outcome.

i hope you all have quite the dent in your holiday shopping! Christmas is only 10 days away! ditch the gift card idea, there's lots of gifts to still give here are a few on my list...

for the guy (or girl) who drinks everything on the rocks...these won't water down their yueltide drink!
for the sister who is always cold...keep her ears cozy
for the baker in your life...personalization is always appreciated
for the best friend...jewelry is always a winner, make it unique
for the sophisticate girl who is 18 going on 40...start this staple early!
for the woman who has everything...who doesn't love a year worth's of fresh cut flowers?
for the man in your life who has everything...keep sending him messages!

good luck! keep shopping!

the very best, always,

alexandra
