Warm Christmas

fair isle jumper, boohoo christmas, christmas sweaters, family picture, family sweaters, matching sweaters, christmas pictures, holiday picturesI’m so happy to be home in CA! I made it home on Wednesday evening, after a long day of traveling, and since then I’ve just been chilling in my PJs and spending time with my family. My sister came back on Saturday night, so that means that now all four of us are together again for the first time this year (the last time I was home was Christmas 2013).

I spent most of my childhood in CA and here the temperature is usually a balmy 65 degrees on Christmas day. When Boohoo contacted me about recreating an old Christmas photo, I thought it would be fun to do a more wintry version of the Christmas pictures we usually take. I picked out these warm and cozy sweaters and yesterday there was actually a bit of a chill in the air, so it was the perfect time to wear them.

Tonight’s plan is to try and watch Elf again (last night a few of us fell asleep) and enjoy some of the Christmas toffee that a neighbor gave us. I probably won’t be posting anything this week, so I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful Christmas!

    Love this! I’m in the same boat – coming home to sunny California for Christmas after not having been home since last year. I’m always skeptical about a warm December, but I can’t help but love it once I’m back here, and back with my people :) Happy holidays! Glad to have found your blog.

      Thank you Sara! I can hardly believe the differences between the 2011 picture and the 2014 picture myself! It’s fun to look back :)

  12. I love how much both your brothers grew when you compare the pictures. I wouldn’t even recognise you in the 2011 photo! This post has definitely put a smile on my face, hope you had a wonderful time with your family :)

      I know! Each time I see my brothers they just grow and grow and sometimes I can barely recognize them! I’m so glad you enjoyed the post and I hope you had a wonderful holiday season :)?
