i’m pretty sure i’m the easiest person ever to shop for. or maybe the people in my life just know me really well? maybe both ;-) (i have a four year old cousin - above is mostly his haul!)

from my secret santa: mustache clips, a camera stamp and ihop in the prettiest bag (i may frame it!) and the most adorable card ever. 

a photo a day album from this guy, which i cannot wait to start filling up!

theres a story behind this one: i was about 12 or 13 and my uncle jim had my name in our family exchange. he got me what he thought was an awesome gift - a pin made from a real fish! all the proceeds went to some wildlife organization. no one could believe he thought this would be great for a pre-teen girl, so the next year the entire family got uncle jim a fish related gift! every year since then, our christmas exchanges have had a theme, but this year uncle jim got me an ornament reminiscent of the pin. you know, for old times sake. 

sometimes santa comes early! {above} my secret santa fur coat, the best sweatshirt EVER, and x-mas eve pj’s (another family tradition)

i love pretty packaging and anything los angeles related, obvi. 

my family must think know i get cold in 70 degree weather, too because i got a plethora of socks and warm fuzzies for my feet! 

make that five, actually, counting last night. i wasn’t able to get a ton of time off work for this visit home, so while i’m here i needed to make sure i see every extension of my crazy family and squeeze in as many traditions as possible. i am fat and exhausted, but if those are the worst of my problems, consider me one lucky girl.

last night i went out with my mom, gramma and some more family to a little martini bar in town. unbeknownst to us, it was karaoke night. my mom’s hubby was in heaven, as he is a karaoke master. i was indifferent at first, but two extra-dirty martinis later i was singing a different tune. hall and oates, to be exact.

you know the awesome thing about the internet? you can post things like wish lists just because you’re looking for something to blog about, not expecting anything to come from it and then BOOM! people know what you want! which is how i ended up with this amazing coat as an early christmas present from a secret santa. i plan on wearing the shit out of this baby, so expect to see much of it in the near future.
