We always have such a variety of styles and flavors. Nom-Nom... It's such a crazy time of the year and I know that everyone is super busy prepping for the Holidays. I feel extremely blessed that my friends carve out time to bake and also join in and relax at my party- Last night, they shared stories of how their children enjoy making the cookies with them and get so excited to see the tray of cookies that returns with their Mom.

Holiday Pajamas

Pajama Selfie 

I am a sucker for pajamas! I love nothing more than coming home and jumping into lounge wear. These are a few of my favorite pieces this season. I rarely take selfies especially in my pajamas- Hee-hee... Sorry if I scared you, but I wanted you to see these adorable bottoms! I buy pajamas for the kids every Christmas Eve and they never really say anything about it, but when I came downstairs in MY NEW jammies, Ellie was like- "I want those ones... are those the ones I get for Christmas Eve?" Oh, so you do like that I get you Christmas pajamas? Sadly, these are NOT what she is getting but of course I found cute ones for her and Evan. I'm hoping you all have a snuggly Holiday season...

Mugs 

Merry Christmas Pillow 

Front Porch 

Last week, I shared with you my favorite photos of some homes decorated in Holiday cheer. Today- I thought I'd share with you My Holiday Home. This weekend I hosted a Holiday party. As you well know, I love entertaining and having friends over to my home. As I have shared before... I'm obsessed with the color RED for Christmas. My sign in the butler's pantry reads "Dear Friends, with your cheeks so bright won't you share an eggnog tonight" I got it years ago at Hallmark, it's a Department 56. I love hanging it every year. I bought this adorable Merry Christmas pillow (sold out) but also love this pillow and I'm completely obsessed with these mugs. Super cute to drink out of or use for a flower vase like I did. I hope you are enjoying every moment of your Holiday Season-

Today is the last day of The Holiday Home Tour. I brought you five (5) amazing Homes to Tour this Season! I had such a FUN time searching and reading everyones Blogs. I was able to get some great ideas for my own home. Today's Home Tour is Abby from Just A Girl and Her Blog. I've come to realize I love the color RED in my home for the Holidays and I also felt like I was drawn to this when looking at others homes. It's cheery and makes me happy. I love the plaid pillows Abby placed on her bed, the red ribbon in the Christmas Tree. I love the decorations she added into her china hutch for the season. I especially love the monogram mugs her friend made her that she placed on her hot chocolate station. Too adorable! I'm wanting some hot chocolate now while I'm thinking about it... Yum-Yum! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Celebrate this wonderful season and do something NEW! Happy Friday-
