Hey darlings! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and happy holiday! The hubby and I are still enjoying ourselves in northern FL... enjoying the fam and reminiscing with old friends. Christmas day was joyous and fun, but over all the presents received this year, I am truly thankful for the things we tend to take for granted - - a roof over my head, a loving husband, a job, food to eat, family and friends that love me, and my health. It's easy to get caught up in the materialistic form of Christmas, especially when you're a blogger and you're constantly surrounded by the lust of clothing, shoes, accessories -- etc. etc. etc.!! ;) But it's really nice to step back and realize the real important things in life, and what we should truly be thankful for. I feel enormously blessed and thank God for all that I have.
If you're still on holiday break, I hope you're enjoying every minute of it! If you're back to the daily grind with work, I hope you are having an awesome start to what will soon be the new year. {Geez, where did 2011 go, right?? Flew by!} xo!
You two look flawless!! Love your dress and I think that you look gorgeous in it.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to read that there are still people like you which don't turn Christmas holidays into materialist holidays and do realize what's the real treasure/ gifts in our lives.

You look absolutely stunning in that red BB Dakota dress Jen, I love it! Such nice Holiday photos of you and your husband in front of the tree...and I couldn't agree with you more-Christmas and family is all about the sounds, sights and smells after all of the presents have been opened and everyone is just sharing the moment.

I think the red lipstick goes really great with the dress. The dress is also really festive, and kind of like a xmas tree skirt ( I mean that in the best way possible haha!)
ReplyDeletelove your dress, it's special!

Great post! You're right - it's hard not to get wrapped up (put not intended) in the gifts and materialism of the holidays. It's so important to be thankful for the things that are truly important - family and friends!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and happy new year!
