How I Spent My Christmas Vacation, Part 2


I went to a Christmas Party wearing this outfit: Red knit blouse with black sequin bow (Ulla Popken), black pencil skirt (Target) and black tights (Target).  Loved the top and even though I'm quite busty, it was a little big.  Their sizing is generous.  This top is great for dressing up or down depending on what you wear with it.



This was a Colonial Christmas Dinner at Riley's Farm in Oak Glen.  We all went in Colonial costumes as was requested.  My dress is a pretty print with a dark brown background (when I ordered it I thought it was black) and lace sleeves.  My dress is from Recollections and is actually supposed to be Victorian Prairie style but it was the closest I could get.  The Mob Cap is also from Recollections.  My scarf is actually a lace table topper from Walmart.


My last Christmas event was The Christmas Follies at the Centre Theatre in Fontana.  I'm wearing the Ulla Popken top again.  The Christmas Follies was a variety type show which starred out waiters and waitresses.  We had a delicious dinner which they served.  They they sang and danced for us.  It's a wonderful musical theater production!


This is what I had:  Top is a " Happy Elf" and dinner was Chicken with a yummy sauce, vegetables and potatoes.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Season!
Hugs, Susan

How I Spent My Christmas Vacation

December just flew by since I had the flu at the beginning and the flu at the end.  In between coughing and sneezing I got to do a few fun things.

I'm in a Meetup group called Fun Day Trips and that's what we do:  have fun and go places.  These photos are from "Chill" at the Queen Mary Park in Long Beach.


The Santa and wreath are carved from ice.  The coat is courtesy of the exhibit.  I'm wearing my Target crocheted beret.



Melissa and I are taking a break on the Queen Mary.  Beret, scarf and sweater are from Target.  Jacket is from a Carnival cruise and the jeans are from Avenue.

The weather was cool and the exhibit was cold so everyone got into the Christmas mood.  Christmas in Southern California isn't usually very cool.  It's been know to arrive in 80 degrees and Santa Ana winds.  We were so fortunate to have some rain and cool weather in December!

I'm making this post short since I spent most of the day ironing out some picture uploading problems on my computer.  It was so much easier when I was blogging a few years back...hope it's not me having "senior moments."

Part 2 of Christmas vacation is tomorrow.

Hugs, Susan
