I had the biggest surprise this month, and I am still smiling about it. Bestie M and I have a long-standing birthday dinner tradition, and since she moved about an hour away, it did not seem strange at all when she suggested we celebrate a little early this year.

For the past few years, I’ve hosted a Mom’s Merry Little Night Out – Favorite Things Christmas party and it has always been such a highlight of the season.
