A Christmas Story: The Musical.  Birthday celebrations and holiday-themed trivia with the family.  Cookie baking and White Christmas.  THREE batches of hummus (don’t even ask…).  Christmas Eve biscuit breakfast.  The Big Short.  Hors d’oeuvres, cranberry martinis, toys galore.  Beef stew, White Elephant and family puzzle time.  SNOW!  Christmas morning pancakes, Love Actually, exchanging presents with the best husband ever.  Brussels sprouts with ALL the bacon, a house full of family, finally finishing that damn puzzle.  Getting completely spoiled by my mother (I cried, for real!).  Prime rib, Moscow Mules, a selfie stick and Scrooged.  A lazy Saturday, conveyor belt sushi, Carol.  Black-eyed peas in my new Dutch oven and the most beautiful pair of boots.  So much love, happiness and family in one weekend.  I’m so lucky 🙂
