Day 2
Ok, ok. I coped out again. I had plans to take Luke to see Santa at Bergdorf, and then cruise around 5th avenue, maybe stop into FAO Schwartz, but Tom had a Christmas party, and I just didn't feel like dragging Luke around by myself. One of the small problems of living in a great place, you don't always have the energy to enjoy it.
So instead, I finished up my holiday decorations, ordered in, and drank lots of hot chocolate.
I also had to put on a festive DVD to keep me company. We have owned this our entire marriage but I have never watched it. It was fun. Although I am not sure which holiday it is more appropriate for.
Holiday soft trees. So easy and simple. You can find the pattern here.
I love holly berry. I finally picked some up yesterday. They just add the perfect holiday touch.
I made these paper balls after I saw Sally's at Shim and Sons. Tom, my amazing husband, did all of the illustrations for the strips and cut them out. He must have spent a few hours on it all. Thanks again Tom!
And how could I resist a bowl of mint M&M's. Something tells me though they won't last through the weekend.
And I needed to finish up a few gift tags for presents this year. This has been my first experience with stamping, and I must say, with the right stamps, you can make some really great stuff.
It's really starting to feel like Christmas around here. I love it.

And the stockings were hung by the... brick wall with care. Love the gift tags. Stamping huh? Hmm. And I like what I can see of Tom's balls. Wait. No, I'm leaving it. Don't tell Mom but I think I may just like your decorations a bit more than ours. But only a bit.
Sounds like you are having so much fun. New York seems like the place to be for the Holidays.
I love the nightmare before Christmas but, yeah, I think it is more of a halloween movie.
I am so addicted to the mint M&M's. Yum!
Very nice gift tags.
Sorry I am leaving another comment, I just read Tara's comment and cannot stop laughing!
such cute cute christmasy stuff. i adore your stockings. i'm so happy to hear that you'll be here soon!
bergdorf no longer has santa claus, so it's good you didn't go, though the windows are spectacular. good luck with your big christmas plans.
I think I spy a couple Adler stockings! They look phenomenal.
