Christmas in Dixie

My favorite Christmas movie is The Holiday (2006).

The one with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black and Jude Law.
Not to spoil anything but Iris (Kate Winslet) spends the holiday here in L.A. where it's warm and the Santa Annas blow.
She wanted to go somewhere warm to get away from cold London, but I am longing for the opposite.


December is here in SoCal and I am homesick!

Palm trees and blue skies greet me each day on the West coast, making me feel like time has stood
still in September.
The warm weather spoiled Autumn for me and now, I fear, Winter!
L.A. does a good job at staying warm even today on December 1st- it's 76˚ F outside!



In two weeks we are flying home to the South- Birmingham, Alabama to visit family
and I am OVER THE MOON!














I thought I'd make a list of everything I am going to do there. So here is my Birmingham To-Do List, full of all the festiveness, food, and joy!!

So here's to a great December!
Let's aim to stay positive this season, and not to go crazy with the relatives we love ever-so-dearly. No mental breakdowns are allowed, even if you aren't sure how graphic design is going to be the most stable career field out there for you!

If you have any Christmas traditions I don't, message me on Instagram. I want to add them to my list! If you want to hang out in Bham, let me know! I love you all!
