Have A Very Merry Christmas

The rush and excitement of Christmas is at fever pitch in our household, the voice of Nat King Cole is on continuous rotation, and the smells from my husband’s handy work in the kitchen is making everyone hungry. I am busy finishing last minute floral arrangements and setting the table for Reveillon–our annual Christmas Eve dinner. Of course, in New Orleans, the elaborate feasting known as Reveillon has been taking place all month, but we like to celebrate on Christmas Eve at our home in Virginia. I get to DJ, so the evening is filled with my special line-up of holiday music, there is lots of laughter from family and friends, and after a few cocktails someone will surely head to the windows to see if they can spot Santa and his reindeer, and some folks will swear they see him, but it’s all in good fun and in the spirit of the season. Before the celebration begins, I just wanted to take a minute to wish you all a very merry Christmas wherever you are in the world. I hope that this holiday season brings you all of the joy and love that your heart can hold.

P.S. As promised, I have selected my top ten holiday albums of all-time and listed them under Zavvi Recommends.
