Holiday Cheer

It’s Hard to believe another year is almost gone huh? Seems this year flew by faster than the speed of light. Nevertheless, we hope you all had some great holiday cheer with your family and friends. Ours was spent in Lake Arrowhead with Creason, Calee and Creason’s boyfriend. We were lucky to have some snow, enough for them to go sleighing and make up a snowman. It was just the way I wanted it this holiday, spent quietly with just family. Since this year was jammed with a lot of change for us and a lot of travel, it was nice to just relax. I wasn’t in the mood to throw any parties like I usually do and I just didn’t have the energy to get into doing a tree and all the shopping. We went to only a few parties. Our holiday cheer was knowing that the ones closest to us were near and dear and that we had their love and support. DevRonn

What Kind of Holiday Cheer did you have?

What I do love about this time of the year is how everyone else celebrates. Seems each and every family has certain traditions and different ways of celebrating. What”s yours? Did your holiday cheer include a certain type of food or unique ritual? Please share it with us. I use to love to go to midnight mass, as I was raised Catholic, but over the years that changed and I just couldn’t stay up that late anymore. Do you open presents on Christmas eve or Christmas morning with your family? Is there a certain kind of drink that is traditional besides eggnog? Personally, I love eggnog cappuccinos now! Whatever your traditions are with holiday cheer, we hope this holiday was one of the most memorable ones ever.Christmas Dinner

Summing Up The Year With Holiday Cheer!

Looking back at 2012, it’s a year I know we won’t forget for so many reasons. What are the things you’ll remember most? I know for me just the fact that we were in 2012 was so surreal. I mean 2012 seemed so futuristic. Maybe it’s because I was born in the 60s and it felt like yesterday was 1986, but 2012 will always remain a turning point for us. It was the year of change. Creason graduated from high school, Ronn quit B&B, we survived an 8 car accident and Obama got re-elected. Our holiday cheer consisted of a small elite group of friends singing Christmas carols and eating the traditional turkey, stuffing and cranberries. Many of us thought the world would end on 12/21/12 and instead we look forward to a new beginning in 2013 with anticipation and dreams of a brighter future , one of hope, peace and love. I for one am excited about 2013 and since it’s just around the corner now will say with great holiday cheer, Happy New Year!!Singing Christmas Carols

Seems Ronn and I are kicking off the holiday season parties with a bang. We went to an awesome Heinekin holiday party with our dear friends Wally and Lori Crowder.

Then I hosted my all girl Potluck Christmas bash. Ronn was sweet enough to help out as our elf with the photos. As always, the girls brought some great yummy dishes and we did our white elephant exchange where a lot of stealing was going on with great fun!

Cake

My dear friend Cindy Margolis brought this awesome cake to celebrate all the sexy girls and I dressed up as a candy cane to keep all the girls in line during the gift exchange.

It can get pretty rowdy with the girls during that process.  If you recall I was Mrs Claus last year. Some of my favorite potluck gals couldn’t make it this year due to the flu or out of town commitments, so we had a few newbies this to initiate.

But, as always girls just want to have fun and that we did!

Potluck Christmas 2010

This past weekend marked the start of our holiday party invites. We attended Heather Tom’s annual Christmas bash and toured her fabulously decorated home. It was our first time but hopefully not our last. Heather throws a first class party! Then I hosted my all girl Potluck with some of my amazing gals. Playmates Barbara Moore, Luanne Lee and Jacqueline Sheen, along with Cindy Margolis, Fiona Horne, Tina Hillstrom and Alana Curry were some of the beauties that made our Potluck so fun and festive. I have been having these Potlucks now for over 15 years and we always have a blast! This year I had to be a little naughty and a little nice, so I dressed as a sexy Santa to keep the girls in line. Trust me, it’s not easy keeping 20 plus girls in line, especially when there are gifts to steal! There was so much fun, happy punch and laughter that we wore out Ronn, who was filming and taking pics of the whole event. No men are allowed at Potlucks, but we made an exception for Ronn due to the fact that he’s such a good camera man!  Until next year……

We hope you all are having as much fun this holiday season as we are having. It’s such an awesome time of the year. A time to reflect on the past year with family and friends and look forward to the future year with hope and anticipation. I love to cook a turkey and make the house as festive as possible. Ronn enjoys playing the guitar and singing with the band and friends visiting. This year we are thrilled to just stay home and enjoy the simple pleasures like trimming the tree with the kids and a few friends. We are also excited about our appearance in the Hollywood Christmas Parade that will air on December 10th. PLAYER did an awesome performance in it and Ronn, Creason, Calee and I get to ride on a float. There are numerous Christmas parties we are attending and I will throw my annual girls, “Potluck Christmas” with all my gorgeous girlfriends. Hope you are enjoying the Happy Christmas video and will spread it around. I did the  fancy camera work and it was the song the band originally wanted to sing in the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
