December summed up in photographs via Instagram.
- Happy New Year from Morrissey the cat. I can't help torturing him with headpieces and bow ties.
- I made sure to have a batch of cowboy caviar on hand to go along with my NYE champagne float. It's a southern tradition that if you consume black eyed peas on the first day of the New Year you'll have good luck throughout the year.
- My most "liked" photographs of 2013 via #memostatigram.
- I created custom wrapping paper using Instagram photographs via Minted.
- The ice skates decorating the front of my house.
- It isn't Christmas without bubbles and holiday nails.
- Kraken rum and "real" coke in a candy cane shot glass.
- Best. Card. Ever.
- The traditional Christmas morning breakfast of waffles with strawberries and whipping cream along with mimosas.
- Signage at Scotty Browns.
- Imbibed a Bellini at Scotty Browns prior to catching a screening of American Hustle.
- The last snowfall of 2013.
- The ceramic Christmas tree painted by my paternal Grandmother and gifted to me by my Father last Christmas. It's one of my most cherished Christmas decorations for sentimental reasons.
- My colleague and I had dinner at The Willows Inn. Clearly we couldn't keep up with the wine and juice pairing.
- This gingerbread mug is in heavy rotation during the month of December.
- The white feather tree is given pride of place on the kitchen counter.
- First moscow mule of the season from Daphne's.
- A chill rolled into the San Juan Islands bringing temperatures that felt like a whopping 4 degrees.
There you have it. Adieu December.
