Winter, The Best Season for Slofing

    The other day, I decided to go sledding, just after the fresh snowfall. Unfortunately, there aren't many good hills near my house, so I went to the golf course.  It's wicked fun to sled down all the big hills and the go over the sand traps!  Down side of this, last year one of my friends broke her back sledding down a hill and landing on a frozen water hazard ouch.  It's really fun, but be careful, also if you have a bad back you might want to wait for normal golfing season.

Christmas in New England

It's finally Christmas, and however hectic the month leading up to it had been it must be put in the past, so we can enjoy the holiday! The best things about the holidays are, playing in the snow, eating candy canes, drinking hot cocoa, listening to Christmas music, shopping (even though it's crazy), baking cookies, going to parties, opening presents, decorating the tree, and spending time with the whole family. However, Christmas can be crazy, so here are some holiday tips.
Dressing for Holiday Cheer
- You have to find the perfect mix of classy, and stylish, festive, and of course warm too.
-Dress in layers, so that if it's cold outside, and hot at your party, you can still be comfortable.
-You what to look cheerful, but don't go overboard. Try to get a fancy blouse, or a dress in crimson, black, gold, or silver, great holiday colors.
-For a great touch add a sparkly winter touch such as a snowflake necklace of cute snowmen earrings.
-Whatever you do, please don't give into the horrible Christmas sweater, that your aunt gave you last year!
Shopping Without Losing Your Money and Sanity
-It's kinda of late for this, but try to get your shopping done early on,so that you can avoid the horrible last minuet rush.
-If it's too late for that, try to skip the big malls like the Natick Collection, and find a smaller department store.
-Before you go shopping, make a list of who you want to buy for, and keep it was short as possible, that why you won't forget anyone, or go broke.
-If your shopping for quick gifts for your parents, aunts, and uncles, you should go to a store like Kohl's because they have great holiday sales and they have everything. I suggest, scarves, hats, gloves, 365 day calendars, jewelry, bath sets, and sports shirts.
-If your shopping for far away cousins, just pick up some gift cards, they work for anyone.
-If your shopping for friends, I suggest the Paper Store, after all they do have Vera Bradley!

Hope that my tips helped! If you have any remember to post them under comments for this post!

The best Way To Welcome the Snow is With a Pea Coat

I have great news! Today it's finally
snowed for real, and it looks like I'm going to have yards of it. Now matter how old you have to go sledding, and have hot cocoa with marshmallows! The best way to do this is in a cute, navy inspired pea coat from J. Crew, and that's exactly what I did today, because I'm finally on Christmas vacation. Massachusetts is known for it's beautiful, white Christmases, and I am so happy to be here for it. The funniest think happened the other day, when we had our first snow. My friend O from florida, saw here first snow( we go to boarding school) and she was so excited, until she realized that it was icy! I hope you all enjoy the snow!
