Under the tree

I don't want to be one of those young women (mostly teens - kudos kiddos, don't spend it all in one place!) who show off their latest purchases via the internets, but I did want to share my three favorite presents because they brought me great joy this Christmas. 

1.) Snow boots!

Perfect for days like this! I have been wanting moon boots, like this. And I LOVE down. I imagine that I look like a charred marshmallow from head to toe. But, they feel like slippers that I can wear outside - MY DREAM!

2.) Oink, Oink!

I love my little pig cutting board that I plan to use as a charcuterie board. Isn't s/he cute? Thanks, Sis!

I love cheese and meats, so I plan to be using this bad boy. Plus, I hope to have more dinner parties in 2011, so this will help me become the the perfect hostess with the mostess.

My sister did it again! She bought me this adorable tote via we heart philly . com. Apparently, she picked this up at the Christmas Village at Dilworth Plaza on the west side of City Hall Philadelphia. It reminds me of the DC's Holiday Market, which I sadly missed this year. I am excited to tote around this bad boy!

This year, I did all of my shopping last minute so I spent most of week prior to the holiday/vacation shopping! I didn't mind b/c I enjoy shopping. If it were a sport, than I would probably be an olympic medalist.  Nothing, but gold baby! Gold!

Haha, but seriously, the best gift was spending time with my family. I had a great week at home.  I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!
