Christmas 2012


“Merry Christmas to all! & To all a Good Night”

I completely understand why ‘Santa’ says such a quote… I have never slept so well since Thanksgiving. I usually travel to see my family, as does half of the Commonwealth clan, however, this year family came to us.
Hosting a party is an absolute blast. You have the control of what to serve, when to begin the party, who’s invited, and how to decorate. The prepping can be a little stressful; especially when hosting your first adult party on the most important holiday – but it went off without a hitch! (I have my mother to thank).

We wrapped the evening up with everyone’s beverage of choice, some sweats, a heated blanket, and a Christmas Vacation; the perfect ending to a wonderful Christmas Holiday.


As I sit here and begin to think of our holiday plans for New Years Eve, I reflect on the year 2012- what I loved, what I would like to repeat, what I would like to change, what my 2013+ goals are, and what more I can do for my community.

I hope everyone had a jubilant Holiday filled with love and laughter!

Merry Christmas from Commonwealth Event Company!

Good-Bye Turkey Coma

Right when I thought I was getting over my Turkey Coma, I have fallen into a Christmas stupor. The heavy eating of one day has turned into one month of chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies with EXTRA icing, chewy Noels, pistachio Christmas ribbon bars, and the endless eggnog. Just thinking about it makes me crave more…

No shame in this game. Everyone is much happier. The Christmas music has been playing nonstop, we have already received a few Christmas cards; there is no doubt the spirit is spread throughout Commonwealth Event Company :)
Steve attended the Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination with Holiday cheers, Phyllis enjoyed the Bethlehem walk, and Melissa cut down the family Christmas tree, decorated the house, and began the baking.

What do you have planned during the holidays?

Despite this recent warm weather… cold weather is just around the corner.
Do not forget about Commonwealth Event Company! If you book a tent with us today (or throughout December), you will receive 10% off your tent rental! Do you have an upcoming event; book with us today and you will still receive 10% off your tent rental– our Christmas treat :)

THANKSGIVING


Ah, Thanksgiving. The glorious holiday where the in-laws, cousins, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews gather together under one roof. In this modern day, do not forget to include the fur babies, might as well invite your neighbors and friends. Heck, they may save your sanity. By now, if you’re the host, you may be lucky enough to have the silver polished, the table set, and the menu carefully selected; you wouldn’t want to let little Jimmy have anaphylaxis now would you? 
I do not want you to get the impression that my anxiety flies through the roof with just the thought of Aunt Sue and my great Nana being 30ft apart of one another, never. I love my family. I just value my space.
 
On that note, listen to that little voice inside your head and get the tent. More space is always a necessity. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Montpelier Hunt Races


Earlier this month we had one of our most “prized” events, Montpelier Hunt Races. This event begins at 9am sharp and the last post time is around 4:30pm, but do not think you need to leave! Our 75 frame tents, plus the beautiful two structure tents, held all the friends, booze, and food anyone could hope for on that perfect fall day!
Ladies, there is an Annual Hat Contest and GREAT shopping, stick horse racing for the children, and if horse racing is just not your thing; come join the Commonwealth Event gang for some good cheer!








 We hope to see you next year!
