tote-ally merry Christmas

Our holiday weekend in Massachusetts with Ryan's family was uneventful in a wonderful way. There was a lot of sitting around a table, reminiscing and eating. Plus, it was the first time in many years that I patiently (and begrudgingly) waited until Christmas day to open gifts. Blasphemous, I know! We woke up fairly early on Christmas day, gathered around the living room and took turns opening gifts one at a time. Each unwrapping was met with uproarious applause. One of my most cherished presents was from my dearest hubby - a Kate Spade Great Gatsby tote. The Great Gatsby is a personal favorite classic. It was so thoughtful of him considering it was just something we saw in passing in a department store in Nassau, Bahamas (on our cruise in November) and mentally hearted. He noticed, and remembered. He also bought me awesome cupcake pajamas, the same ones that Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) wore in 30 Rock. Best. Christmas. Ever. How did you spend your holidays? What was your favorite gift?
