Happy Ho Ho Holidays

How to start a highly enjoyable, high calorie beginning of the Christmas season!!

High tea with my Mom at the Mission Inn in Downtown Riverside, CA

and put a pair of glasses on me and I look a whole like my wonderful Mom of all Moms.

No problem keeping it weird because I am anything but normal :)

And what better place to get festive than the crowded streets of San Francisco
over the long Thanksgiving weekend.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving because Ruth Chris cooked it and did all the clean up :)

Finally started my Christmas shopping on the crazy busy shopping Friday after Thanksgiving.

It is always a blast navigating the crush of people in the city.

Another highlight of spending ( and $pending ) the weekend in San Francisco is 

the gorgeous giant Christmas tree in Union Square 

that gets light up on the day after Thanksgiving. 

And of course these are the two highlights of ALL visits to San Francisco.

And then before you knew it;

Christmas !!!

and some really great gifts

and really great treats

and a really great family.

Two days later we were posing for my selfie stick that my girlies gave to me for Christmas

Did I forget to mention we were in Hawaii :)

and again with really great treats

and wholesome family activities...

and some not so wholesome New Year celebrating. LOL

And nothing beats wearing just a bathing suit in January when 

everyone else you know is freezing their booties off !
