I might just have to bring them to Thailand with me for next year! They are pretty magical 🙂

Love the decorations, as usual. Time with family really is everything!

Okay Rachel, this is why you are my spirit animal. You’re amazing! I think I need to steal all those ideas. And I truly hope that when the day comes that we cross paths, it’s in December!

You guys have definitely made me realize I need to cut myself a bit more of a break, considering all the work my body was doing behind the scenes to heal from surgery. A few good cries were inevitable!

Thanks Chris. Indeed, the holidays are typically a very stressful time for many! For once, this year, I could relate.

Um, you mean and launch my dream career of planning lavish parties with other people’s money? Consider this my formal acceptance.

Indeed. It was a rollercoaster — lots of crying in the corner and lots of laughing in the living room 🙂

I hope to resume my crazy Christmas-ing next year and every year hereafter 🙂 Being in a bad mood wasn’t fun at all, though perhaps I should cut myself a bit more of a break considering my health woes.

He is pretty adorable, isn’t he? 🙂 He definitely brought me immeasurable cheer this season!

It is indeed, Jill. And I know I’ll be missing them sorely next year!
