Leaving the Casa, Again

Could you just see the Mistress driving up the road to visit family with the likes of this??? Yeah, I know, it wouldn't surprise any of you! Although it would be festive to drive a red vintage MG westward to the ancestral home for Christmas. Maybe I would even wear my tuxedo shirt and bow tie! And yes you guessed it....I'm off tomorrow to spend Christmas with family and friends.How's everyone feeling so far this holiday... Stressful & Anxiety or Peace & Joyful? Surprisingly, I'm not in any major panic this year! I'm usually not, but sometimes I do have a little bit of stress, but not this year. It was smooth sailing. I think this is my first time I can honestly say I am truly relaxed this holiday season! I can't believe how caught up I was this year, and how calm it is here! Twas two days before Christmas and all through the Casa du Borghese, not a creature is stirring, except these warm, cozy and hunky boys!







Ahhhhhhhh, won't they be nice to help keep one warm on a cold winters night? And love how they make long johns look sexy! But like I was saying to never having free time during the holiday season to do extra fun things. But tonight after work, I met the Lad and another friend for some of these-



These too will help to keep me warm! A delish Espresso martini at the Lambertville Hotel! They make the best ones! Now, we are pesently back at the Casa, and the Lad is trying to help me get things ready to depart tomorrow, but I think he has other things on his mind! Or he will have to wait till my New Year Eve party. It will be nice to sleep in and leave at a leisurely pace. Once home we will have our usual unlimited Cosmopolitans with a light buffet at my mothers, followed by our annual watching of A Christmas Carol and then to bed late. The next day is the big dinner at the Aunt and Uncle's bungalow for her wonderful Roast Beef Dinner with Yorkshire Pudding and all the trimmings! Some of her kids will be present, but as an added treat this year, her youngest will be home. As he plays with the Chattanooga Symphony, and ALWAYS travels with his viola, I hoping we can have his arm twisted to play a few Christmas ditties! So I'm off again and will be back late next week sometime, with exception to a Christmas Day message.

Soooo.... I wish you all a magical, wonderful, and gayly festive Merry Christmas! Thank You for you all for your kind words, and funny comments and for visiting me at the Casa du Borghese - I'm truly grateful for all of your friendships and kindness! Now how about a round of Gin and Tonics???

XOXOXOXO-

Mistress Borghese
