Brad and I celebrated Christmas with my family this year, and I was so happy we did because we had a New York Christmas--complete with the biting winter cold, a trip to Rockefeller Plaza, unbearable crowds…and then...all the good stuff! It was Brad and I's second time to visit the city together, and it's so fun to share my old home with that guy I now call my husband. We ate at my favorite restaurants, walked through my favorite parts of town, and visited with some of my favorite friends. I loved every nanosecond of it, beside the ones where we had to fight our way through the ripping winds and stumbling crowds. I've had some pretty interesting and non-average Christmas Days' in my past, but this one rivals all the others for title of "The Best".
After a Christmas Day service and Magnolia cupcakes, we celebrated Christmas dinner at Gemma of The Bowery Hotel with family, close friends, good wine, great food…and a ditzy waiter who graciously overcorrected for his poor service by giving us a few items on the house. After dinner, the "kids" went next door to the bar at The Bowery Hotel--a contender for one of my most-loved hotel bars--for some after dinner digestifs. Needless to say, our Christmas Day was not as conventional or traditional as others, but it was a memory I will cherish for quite some time.
