Happy Christmas Eve my dear readers! I’m off to Massachusetts for a cozy and relaxing week visiting family and friends for the holidays. I won’t be posting while I’m away, but I’ll be back to kick off the new year on January 3rd with lots of pics from my adventures at home. Until then, I’m wishing each of you a very Merry Christmas and a fabulous (champagne-filled!) New Year’s Eve. To get your week of holiday fun started right, here are a few happy posts from around the web:

All you need to help you wake up early on Christmas morning!

A simply gorgeous holiday tabletop. 

The many faces of Stephen Dorff (and his new film that I am would really like to see).

A shimmery dress for New Year’s Eve.

Wanted: Bonnie and Clyde.

A Christmas tree branch.

I’m obsessed with this room.

Seeing red.

A seasonal menu for a sweet birthday celebration.

A vintage engagement — in New York!

What a beautiful garden rose.

I’m dreaming of a White Christmas.

Ping pong? Sparklers? Glasses for the bride? This Louisville wedding has to be one of the sweetest I’ve ever seen. What an authentic and beautiful couple! The photos were taken by Todd Pellowe and — needless to say — I adore his work. Each shot is romantic and personal, all at the same time. What do you think? Would you have joined in post-ceremony to play ping pong against the bride and groom?

Are your guests from out of town asking you to mix up a holiday cocktail that they can sip? Tell them, it doesn’t get any better than this, the Venezuelan Snowball. Described as a frothy, boozy, mint-infused drink, it is the perfect compliment to a seat beside your roaring night-before-Christmas-Eve fire. Take a peek at the ingredients and let me know your thoughts — is the Venezuelan Snowball something that you would drink?
