I wanted to at least say a hello and wish one and all a safe, happy and warm holiday. It is raining like crazy here in West Hollywood and I'm working feverishly on my website with a goal toward officially opening the end of January.
What are some of your traditions around the holidays? One of my favorites is to stick cloves in oranges, it's murder on the thumbs, but oh so worth it as it fills the home with such a wonderful seasonal spicy smell! The best traditions of course involve spending time with others.
We'll be off to Central Wisconsin to share the holidays with my husbands side of the family. Boy are they a fun bunch too - warm and loving. Plenty of merry to be had. We all draw names ahead of time. A few days before Christmas we have an adults only dinner out and then exchange gifts. There is an optional white elephant gift exchange too that is quite hilarious. Last year we got some erotic massage oils. Another year someone made an electric hammer - very funny.
I'm pretty excited to be taking our dog, Ophelia, with us to Wisconsin where she will be exposed to snow for the first time. I guess they just got over 8 inches the other day! It's like -10ยบ there too - yikes.
Have a Hippie Holiday one and all!
