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.
