Happy Christmas Eve my dear readers! I'm off to Massachusetts for a cozy and relaxing week visiting family and friends for the holidays. I won't be posting while I'm away, but I'll be back to kick off the new year on January 3rd with lots of pics from my adventures at home. Until then, I'm wishing each of you a very Merry Christmas and a fabulous (champagne-filled!) New Year's Eve. To get your week of holiday fun started right, here are a few happy posts from around the web:

This year marks my first experience buying a Christmas tree in New York — and oh, the marked up prices! I had no idea. But it was worth every penny and, above, the result: our adorable Charlie Brown Christmas tree! The photos show the process behind it, from buying it on the street corner (I l-o-v-e the smell of pine trees wafting through the air) to hand cutting the star to put on top of the tree. I found the red globe lanterns over the weekend at the Union Square holiday market. Strung up with holly, they made for the perfect finishing touch on our cozy design. Finally, I'm ready for another Christmas in New York!
