‘Tis the season to be jolly… (sung to the appropriate tune…)
but Craig and I are in danger of turning eating, drinking and being-merry into an extreme sport around here lately! Don’t get me wrong, I just love parties and getting together with friends and we have certainly been doing such a lot of this. There has been some sort of party, Christmas-do, or gathering, like, almost every night, over the past week. Yesterday we had a particularly nice get-together with my Monday morning gals and our husbands. It was just delightful. Without a doubt all of our social-butterflying has been lovely. However my poor constitution needs a break or I am going to end up the size of a house, and dyspeptic to boot. Now, I am happily blessed with a cast-iron stomach, and ordinarily I’m not one to look a gift hors-d’oevre or chocolate truffle in the mouth … but dry toast and water is sounding like a pretty nice menu to me right now.
Luckily, I have almost two whole days off before the next Christmas party tomorrow night.
So until then, I declare this bod a rich-party-food-and-champagne free zone…
Details:

You are lucky to have so many friends and so many parties to go to. Is there really such a thing as party food overload? Can't be.
Love that skirt!
It sounds like you have been having such a wonderful time! The mask you made in the previous post leads to think that that must have been a fun party. Nice you have a couple of days to digest, so you can have another go at it!
That's a gorgeous skirt and you have styled it beautifully.
Those sandals are awesome!
I hear you about rich food, esp. if you live where Christmas is in the summer! My pet peeve right now is fatigue … I just want to stay home, get some sleep, and feel refreshed!
Our partying is likely to take place between the 25th and the new year…but it tends to make me feel the very way you describe. This skirt is beautiful
