Pacific Island Beach Walk

A few years back my family decided to stop exchanging gifts. That's not to say that we don't give each other presents when we get together for the holidays, it simply means that there is no expectation, and the items that are given are usually quite small and useful.

So, instead of presents, what we do is meet up with a group of friends and walk the beach, handing out candy canes to everyone who has been nice that year. Which is everyone.

Here are a few snaps from this years walk.

Love to All,

Christmas Nativity Scenes in Naples

Looks like our friends over in Italy know how to rock the holidays in style. Craftsmen in Naples have been creating figurines for Christmas nativity scenes for decades but if you walk through the markets today, you may be surprised to find a few more “modern” figures. This year, it’s all about the political figures. Figures such as Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni have all made a debut but none have matched the excitement over our president-elect Obama.

Fun!
