The Twilight Eve

Nothing thrills my soul more than family merriment during our holiday season.  I also thoroughly enjoy dressing up in nothing but fancy holiday wear.  For church with the family I put on a very pretty vintage chiffon cream dress that I received a while ago from my friend Brittany and then put on this very Christmas-y jacket that was made in Austria during what I believe to be the 1950s.  Boiled wool coats are the warmest thing ever for frosty Christmas Eve nights.

Oh and of course I had to go the route of A Christmas Carole and take lots of ghostly photos during the twilight hour.  Oooooo....isn't it creepy?  I really liked the soft bluish glow with the twinkling lights behind me.  They make me feel wintry.

During our Christmas Eve my family decided to host a small get together with our family friends we've known for about 16 years and had a nice spread of sandwiches, beer, chips, and cranberry ginger ale.  It was nice getting together and enjoying some good conversation before heading out to our Christmas vigil.

Oh and the Christmas liqueur was a special treat as well!!  I'll be sure to post more photos another day of more family festivities.
