Oh I have the Holiday Spirit… and then some!!
First of all Happy Chanukah! Secondly there are sooo many fun "holiday parties" to attend and so many good sales and shopping events and wow so much to do, maybe I can unchain myself from the shop for a bit? Nope, no WAY! We are going full force here at the Motley Home (652 Tremont in the South End) and my standard line is "Christmas threw up all over our lovely store" it kinda did but it really does look purdy! And I am listening to The Hall and Oates Christmas CD, lawd the mustache!!

Just wanted to write and tell you my shopping guide is on the way later this week and that here's the social calendar for this and a wee bit of next week!!

On the other hand maybe I’ll get lazy and just rent movies from Eveonne at The Video Underground.. she’s got a bunch of “sales” check out www.thevideounderground.com for the scoop!

Enjoy!! And just as an added bonus here's me as an elf…. Hahahahha!!!

And she’s Playing Great Scott Monday, October 1st.
