Well, we survived the end of the world, didn’t we?  Now onto the holidays!  I’m back in my hometown, celebrating Christmas with my family and friends and I couldn’t be happier.  I love this time of year, when the air smells like fireplace and there are lights twinkling everywhere.  It’s so peaceful and relaxing.  All I need is a good movie to watch, a ball of yarn to knit, and a cup of something steaming hot.  You too?

Also, I had a vacation day on Friday so Kyle and I decided to take a little adventure.  We frolicked around Ojai for the day and that place is just stinkin gorgeous.  I’ll post a lot more on the trip very soon, but the highlight was definitely Meditation Mount.  I mean, look at that sunset – is it fo’real???

Also, I’ve been instagramming a lot of holiday goodness if you want to keep up! >> @thestyleeater

Anyway, sending you and your family so much love this holiday season.  I hope you eat A LOT (especially in the dessert category), relax, and enjoy every minute!
