Boutique Cafe Holiday Episode – PLUS Zhu Zhu Pet Giveaway!
December 22nd, 2009We’re celebrating the holidays a little differently this year at Boutique Cafe, my new baby Lola Olivia was born on Dec. 10th and isn’t sleeping at night. Needless to say I had to find a creative way of bringing the holiday spirit to our viewers, while including some extra help from a few special friends to pull it all together. What I came up with was a wandering through various homes in our very own Boutique Community!!
This idea makes me feel like Robin Leach from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (minus the accent)!! It’s a fun little holiday jaunt into the homes of some very creative gals who give so much year-round to their families and community. We hope you feel inspired by the Christmas decor, so cozy up with your hot cocoa and visit the homes of some of our closest friends.

My favourite holiday tradition is Midnight Mass and then coming home to open our presents & then SLEEPING IN
although it has been a bit difficult the last few years since becoming a mummy. Once the kids have grown up we will start the tradition going again.

Thanks for this! – Favorite holiday tradition: this may seem very boring but after years of running around to many families houses on christmas eve and christmas day, we decided a few years ago we are staying home and letting the kids play with their gifts all day on christmas.

A favorite holiday tradition is to just drop everything, and take rides to look at Christmas lights. We let the kids take turns saying which road to take next. We all relax,and enjoy the magic of the displays!

My favorite holiday tradition is watching a video produced by our church about the birth of Christ. It is only 5 minutes long but it is so powerful and wonderful! It really brings the spirit of the true meaning of Christmas to our home.
