Happy Christmas!*

Happy Christmas!*

This isn't my usual sort of post but I've been working away and am traveling back home today. I hope to be back in NYC in time for a Christmas Eve lunch with Mr C&C and then I can finish off my preparations for the big day. (I am very thankful to be at home for Christmas as I know that not everyone can be).

Before the end of the year I plan on there being a few roundup posts. 

Next year I intend to do my best to keep posting three times a week. I enjoy the challenge blogging gives me - coming up with new ideas and trying to improve the way I write - and I love that I get to be a little creative somewhere in my busy life.

January is going to be something of a 'Cheap Thrills' month but as crisps are to champagne February will be a luxury GWP month.

Finally the tree photo...It may not be the biggest or the brightest tree but as I was wandering past the Highline Hotel it caught my eye. It's a big old tree, grand and dazzling but there is something very homely about it  at the same time. I love it. It's my favorite NYC tree by far this year!

*I'm using the standard English festive salutation because whilst I realize that not everybody 'does'. Christmas I am English and saying Happy Christmas is what I do. Happy Holidays is a terrible Hallmark-ism that makes me feel fake I'm afraid...
