spotted holidays

There's snow on the ground, my tree is decorated and I've finished my shopping which can only mean one thing- Christmas is just around the corner! Looking through my photos I realized that there has been one holiday constant since I started this blog- my Bettie Page leopard print ensemble (worn as the 2 piece set, just as the top and just as the skirt) photographed beside Christmas trees! It looks like leopard print may become one of my favourite holiday outfits- add some glitz and glam and you're set for any festive occasion!

In my hotel in Toronto a couple of weeks ago (before Zumba Instructor training).

My Holiday Favourites:

Movie: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) & The Santa Claus Brothers (2001)
Drink: Candy cane hot chocolate and apple cider
Treat: Terry's Chocolate Orange (I love to smash it!)
Music: Breath of Heaven by Amy Grant
Scent: Christmas trees
Meal: Christmas brunch complete with cheese & onion quiche-mmm!
Tradition: Making truffles with my Mum, sugar cookies with my Dad and opening Christmas stockings with my sister!

Trimming the tree last year with Mr. Marley supervising.

My best friend's beautiful Christmas tree last year.

I also wanted to share some photos from last year's holiday family portrait session as I didn't have time to do one this year (and I don't think the cats would have cooperated again!)








This will be my last post for a couple of weeks as I am headed to Nova Scotia to spend quality time with my family. But I couldn't just leave Tinfoil Tiaras alone for that long so I have 6 wonderful guest bloggers lined up to share their favourite part about the holidays as well as some festive fashion! 

Season's greetings to you and yours!

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
