The spirit of Christmas took hold of me early in the season. I have always had a special spot in my heart for Christmas but have spent many years out and about decorating other peoples homes and making them merry and bright. With the shift of my company's offices and studio into my home in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, there was no better time than this year to let open my home and offices to entertain my closest friends, business colleagues and of course my amazingly supportive family.

I have spent the past year working harder than I ever have in my entire life and I thought that we all deserved to take a break and celebrate the wonder and love in all of our relationships. I want to thank each and every one out there that took the time to stop and celebrate with us. For those of you who could not be with us, know that you have my wishes for a happy, healthy holiday season and New Year ahead.
