It’s the most wonderful time of the year….I am an absolute Christmas Song junkie.

I start listening to these joyous tunes before Thanksgiving. My kids love it as well.

Well, maybe they are programed to like them. One of my favorite holiday cd’s {this is pre-itunes},

Is Steve Tyrell’s “This Time of Year.”  Its right up there with all the Rat Pack crooners.

I have seen Steve quite a few times, but my favorite was seeing him for a Christmas Concert…..

This music would go perfect playing in the background in this cabin,

Hey, we can all use a vacation….right??

{Family|Dream Get-Away in Truckee, California}

Lost Trail Lodge, near Truckee, CA -- accessible by cross-country ski or snow shoe! We love Truckee we go there annually!

“With the stockings hung by the chimney with care……”

{Decor|Traditional Home on Pinterest}

Such an elegant holiday living room in silver, gold, and baby blue - Traditional Home®

And the Pantone of 2013 is…..Emerald Green, which would look fantastic with this spread.

All the while eating these ever so yummy cookies…..

White Chocolate Peppermint M Cookies

Of course if we are snuggling and eating at a fabulous get-away, we need hair that

would be perfect for the occasion {actually for me, this would be everyday}.

{Lovely Locks|Vintage Pony Tail}

Vintage ponytail

All the while keeping warm with a lovely scarf wrapped around your neck……

{Fashion|Scarves}

how to tie scarves

For Sara and I, when it is all said in done, we truly believe we are blessed.

This season reminds us that though we may want all of the above, we do know that

there are less fortune out there. One of our favorite foundations this season is……

{Do Good|Spark of Love}

SPARK OF LOVE TOY DRIVE

Hope you all have a safe and happy weekend!
