Vaca!

Yes! As of 5:30 today, I am on vacation. DH and I have a par-tay to attend this evening for a friend who just finished MBA exams. (Congrats K!) To start the festivities I made Glogg with the super-secret family recipe:
One bottle Glogg + one bottle cheap merlot + (this is the secret family part) a heaping glass of Captain Morgan. Let me tell you, the house smells AH-MAH-ZING and I'm on my way to being quite tipsy. Woo!

Next I'd like to show off my old Christmas tree. Back when I was single, I lived in group houses, a closet in a rented house (yes, seriously, a closet. Like, they couldn't fit a twin bed in it), and a small condo. I therefore never got a big Christmas tree. I lived with my little silver tree that reminded me of A Charlie Brown Christmas, it was so bare and unfortunate looking.

Being a fun girl, I decided that decorations should primarily be pink, with some red and purple thrown in. One year I picked up some red and pink twinkle lights during Valentine's and my little tree has become quite the belle of the condo. :)

No flash!

This is my favorite ornament, EVER. We call him Elton, though I think Liberace would have been better. :)

Piggy! I love the striped hat and scarf. I would totally wear it if it came in people-sizes.

Woo hoo...Christmas is here m'dears! Merry merry, y'all!

Elton would look awesome on my tree too! Pink and feathery... that's how I likes 'em!

Happy Vacay!

Love the tree, love the bird and piggy. BTW, what's in Glogg, that bottle on the left, is it sweet or what?

Glogg is a real thing? I had no idea. What is it?? I love the pig in heels!
