Good Sunday morning everyone\u2014incidentally, today\u2019s my birthday! Another year around the sun\u2026how lucky i am.<\/p>\n

We were due to be in the city for the weekend, and I was there until I started feeling like I might be getting sick\u2014at that point I wanted nothing more than to be home so was able to cancel our hotel and restaurant reservations and made a bee line for home. Maybe this is God’s way to telling me to slow down and take it easy. I woke up feeling pretty much the same. not a huge surprise given how many people I know (and have been around) seem to have something right now. I have been lucky, haven’t had anything in a while. While I\u00a0 don’t feel terrible, maybe just a bad cold, I\u2019m really hoping it doesn\u2019t go any further than that.<\/p>\n

But I woke up to the most wonderful Christmas gift\u2026a 5-inch blanket of the most beautiful, white, glistening snow. I can\u2019t even tell you\u2014I literally morph into a little girl every time I see snow coming down, and we haven\u2019t had much of it in the last years, so this was such a magical treat to wake up to on my special day.<\/p>\n

With luck, I will feel better later and we\u2019ll go out as a family later today\u2014but for now I\u2019m going to take the day to rest up and enjoy the view from my window. our city weekend will have to happen another time.<\/p>\n

Onwards to my post this weekend\u2026<\/p>\n

4 VILLA D’ESTE AT CHRISTMAS<\/strong> This is one my favorite hotels, located in Lake Como. It is absolutely dreamy and I never thought of going there during the Christmas season, but wow…this makes me want to plan a trip for next year!! Just amazing, so luxurious and elegant. It is a very very special hotel. We were there about 5 or 6 years ago and it immediately shot up to one of my three favorite hotels that I have been to.\u00a0 Click here to find out about Villa D’Este<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

5 BEST NEW HOLIDAY MOVIES ON HALLMARK <\/strong>Are you a Christmas movie junkie? I go on binges and scour the website for any nee movies featuring a darling town in Vermont where romance blooms and small town charm abounds. Suffice to say, Hallmark has that corner of the market totally covered! I have a feeling today will be a binge watch of Christmas movies:)<\/p>\n
