Traditions
Melisa’s post yesterday made me nostalgic about holiday traditions. They’re such an important way to create memories and I love the process of reestablishing them year after year. My boyfriend and I are leaving first thing this morning for San Francisco (with kitten in tow) and I can’t wait to get home. Here are some of my favorite rituals that I’m most looking forward to.
-Getting dressed up for Christmas Eve and having a crab feed at our neighbor’s house.
-Waking up super early on Christmas and listening to the same CD we do every year (The Roches’ “We Three Kings”).
-Eating buckwheat blini with caviar and champagne while we open the presents in our stockings.
-Sitting by the fire for endless hours with my family and friends.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and I’ll be back on Monday.

Merry Xmas!!!
My partner and I spent our very first Christmas together this year - it was great to start establishing new traditions! (Although champagne and chocolate for breakfast is one that I will insist on carrying forward….)

What a fun surprise to see my name here, Em! Thank you for the link and sweet post:) I hope Christmas included all of these traditions for you. Paul’s feast of the seven fishes was unbelievable! And, of course, watching Devon look at the tree lights…probably did that for a combined total of 14 hours.
Happy Holidays! I love Christmas and all the traditions it comes with
Feliz Natal Emily!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
Beijos, Lu.
