It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

And the White House is no exception. Last year was my first chance to experience the Executive Mansion decked out for the season and it was spectacular. No matter your politics, it’s important to note that for florists and designers across the country, the chance to be selected to decorate one of the rooms is a career highlight. Of course, the California tree was my favorite!! So as you go about your day, stop to think about the people who are bringing beauty to the holidays behind the scenes: the window designers, the florists, the decorators and the rest of the creative people who help us all get into the mood. Happy holidays!

DC days. And now, it’s cold

Sure, Southern California has perfect weather. So why, you may ask, are you in Washington, DC when it’s gearing up for winter? Good question. The answer is, of course, I like to be with my husband and his new job finds him in DC quite often. Also, there are so many fabulous INDOOR things to do in this wonderful American treasure that I can almost pretend like it’s fine outside. Our apartment is in this fabulous neighborhood on Capitol Hill that gets all decked out for the upcoming holidays. So, yes, it’s brisk. But it’s also always exciting here in the nation’s capitol. When is the last time you visited? Put it on your bucket list. And when you do, take my advice and wait for spring. Stay warm out there!
