I love the holidays! After Thanksgiving, Christopher and
I quickly worked to turn over the Fall decorations to the Christmas decorations
in just a weekend. I love how festive our home looks with all the garlands and
lights. I also feel nostalgic as I remember when I received our ornaments and
decorations and who gifted them to us.
This we purchased a second tree and decorated in all of
the angels that my Nana had given me growing up. It looks beautiful and reminds
me of her. Christopher of course added his favorites too the angel tree – his
favorite Star Trek ornament and his silver bell from his birth year.
My Aunt Midge also gave us some holiday decorations over
the summer that I was so excited to put out this year.
I am so excited for all of the Christmas parties we have
coming up. They start tonight with Book Club, which I am hosting. I am making
Bourbon Glazed Kielbasa, Pizza Pinwheels, Piggy Wreath (Pigs in a Blanket
formed into a wreath), white pizza dip, and some desserts. I hope it all goes
well. Oh and you cannot forget the wine J We will have lots of that too.
Then we have our Christmas Brunch with the
Abbarno/Keohane side of the family, Linton CU Holiday Dinner, Splurge Group,
Republican Christmas party, Brunch with our Godson, Cousin Christmas PJ swap,
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners, neighborhood open house party and
wrapping it all up is Christmas with the Wright side of the family. Phew – are
you tired, because listing that out I am already exhausted from all of the
partying we have planned in the upcoming weeks.
I am also looking forward to cookie making with my mom and mother in law. Yummy!
