There are 21 days left until Christmas, and I’m down here in sunny Southern California, where it occasionally hails, but almost never snows, looking over pictures of Leukerbad in Switzerland.
Looking at the pristine snowy white Alps as the backdrop of this resort, reminds me that I’ve never dreamed of a white Christmas. As a matter of fact, I remember one year, I decided that my Christmas wrapping paper would be a palm tree covered roll of paper I bought from step-sister’s school fundraising catalog. Now is the time that I wish I had a six foot plastic palm tree I could cover in Christmas lights - my own interpretation of a Southern Cali Christmas.
I was invited to a Christmas party today and I don’t have a thing to wear. Well, maybe I have something, but I kind of like acting like I don’t. It gives me a guilt-free reason to shop for myself during the holidays. Although, I must say, that my guilt is feeling lighter and lighter as the years pass.
Being the Santa party season and all, I thought I’d share my La Poe (www.lapoebags.info) pick for a handbag that would look great at any Christmas shindig. I’ve picked the white beaded evening clutch, because whether you’re ankle deep in snow, or have almost forgotten what snow looks like (like me), it still translates to “winter holidays.”
