Capturing The Christmas Spirit

Somebody was playing reindeer games last night
and I've got the photos to prove it.

First put on the all important reindeer headband

Then, make sure that your trusty tree trimming assistant dons her reindeer headgear as well.

Then open a bottle of red wine

Put on the Christmas music

And try to trim the tree without breaking too many ornaments

Stop, analyze the tree for ornament coverage, rage at tree becuase it is a nordman and not a noble,

pose for a photo for posterity

then get back to the trimming

Et voila, Christmas has officially arrived chez BHB

Would those of you who are suffering with the snow be offended if I told you that here in LA we have clear blue skies and 80+ degree weather.  Sunbathing in a bikini on the terrace would be in order today...but sadly, not for me.  I'm still trying to catch up with errands, paperwork, housekeeping, xmas shopping, etc.

How about you, are you ready for the holidays?

Christmas Cuteness

So cute, enjoy.

Merry Christmas

The prettiest Xmas tree - ignore the bad focus

How it all comes together

It must be the miracle of Christmas

A full day at the office

then the rush to buy Christmas gifts at the very last minute on Xmas Eve

How I ever threw together a boeufe bourguinon, roasted potatoes with Herbs du Provence, salad and Cote du Rhone

at the last minute for my small family of two adult children I'll never know...

maybe it has something to do with 2 decades plus of practice.

With no time to pull out the fine china and sterling silver it all seemed rather pedestrian

But it worked for our simple family of three.

A Very Simple Family Christmas Eve Dinner

Our small family of three enjoyed a simple evening a trois together

and I hope that all of you who celebrate Christmas enjoyed your family too

Wishing all of you and yours a wonderful Christmas

For Friends In Cold Climates

I have to admit that I secretly envy my many friends who will have snow for Christmas

In spite of how much I love hats
this year I'll stick with my reindeer antler headband
