merry christmas!!

here's an early merry christmas to you!!

i'm headed to santa fe in a couple of days. a much

needed break to relax and visit family. husband and i haven't been to santa fe for christmas since 2005....4 years, yikes! it is truly one of the most spectacular places to be during the holidays. the buildings are lined with lighted farolitos, often times there is snow, and the air is always cool and crisp with a hint of burning cedar. so wonderful! the best part about christmas in santa fe is strolling along canyon road on christmas eve. many of the art galleries are open, serving hot cider and cookies. carolers gather in the street around bonfires, and there are farolitos (luminarias) to light your way down the street. it is incredibly festive. i feel so lucky that my parents moved from one paradise to another. with any luck i will also get to see my oldest sister and her family.....it's been 3 years since i've seen my sister, and that was only briefly for a family emergency. needless to say this is a much needed visit, and i cannot wait to be surrounded by the love and comfort of my own people....and the amazing breakfast at Tia Sofias in downtown santa fe (seriously, cannot wait!).

before i am able to relax in the comfort of my parent's home, i have just one more little bit of b hive business to attend to. if you know of any last minute shoppers, be sure to send them my way. i'll be here on sunday, 12/20/09 from 3:00pm - 9:00pm. this is a 21+ event....even better!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

since i was the 4th child in my family, my parents were not very good at documenting my life. this is one of about 3 christmas photos from my entire childhood. i have no idea how old i was in this photo, 6 maybe......santa looks like he might be a little hungover :)......BTW i wish my hair was still that tame, minus the bangs.
