Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from (sunny!) Palm Springs. I can't wait to catch up next week, and I wanted to say a big thank-you for everything this year. It has been a pleasure having you here, and I feel so grateful and lucky to have such wonderful readers. Hope you have a fabulous holiday. Love, Joanna (and Alex and Toby) P.S. Where are you spending Christmas this year? It's so funny to have a warm California Christmas after growing up in Michigan!

Hi Merry Christmas! I found your blog about a month ago and have also been enjoying it very much! I'm in So. Cal and it has been raining making it feel a little more Christmasey to me. I spent a few White Christmases in Texas as a child but other than that California Christmases! I got to spend a week in NYC the week before Christmas, but we got no snow, only a bit of a flurry one evening but it was cccold!!!
ReplyDeleteI had Christmas in Ohio this year, like every year...I love Ohio Christmases, snowy and full of tradition : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful daily posts! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I am so happy to be home in NYC for Christmas this year! Don't know if I could handle a warm Christmas. I alternately go to TN for the hubby's family. It's strange when it's warm there- but no where near swimming weather! I'm happy to be snowed in and snuggled today!
