Merry Christmas & Happy Everything!
I wanted to take a few minutes to wish you the very best Christmas! I hope you get the opportunity to chill and enjoy these next few days with your loved ones.
Oh my goodness the weeks leading up to the holidays are insane! I feel like we put so much pressure on ourselves, why???
I decided that the weeks leading up to Christmas would be the perfect time to move from the US back to Canada; here I am! Eh!
Like many this time of year, I may have underestimated the time it would take or the energy needed to get everything on my list done. One casualty was my annual Christmas card.
I put a lot of thought into my Christmas Card theme each year. I try to make them as ridiculous and funny as possible. Last year’s was just so so, so I needed to nail this year’s.
I had an awesome idea, but it was a total funny fail! We did laugh our butts off trying to pull it off, so it wasn’t a complete loss.
My idea was to show that living in Las Vegas hadn’t changed me a bit. I would of course be dressed up as a show girl, but instead of feathers I would have pine branches. These costumes were my inspiration.
The plan was to have a headpiece and tail made of greenery that looked like these lovely ladies above.
I recruited my brother and my nephew Jack to help me. My brother builds and fixes things so I thought he would be up for the task.
Well…let’s just say that I overestimated our costume abilities. I also discovered that duct tape can’t fix everything…oh and that it can easily cut off your circulation if too tight!
Instead of looking like a NB showgirl, I looked like a green angel who got punched in the nose in a bar fight.
Not one to give up that easily, I decided to change locations. So I gracefully climbed to the other side of the wall.
Ok, maybe gracefully is a bit of a stretch?? Lol.
After ditching my wings, we did manage to get some cool shots. The life lesson here is to always have a plan b and to laugh your way through your fails when possible.
I was going to get my friend to photoshop the cut on my nose, but I decided to keep it as is, because it shows that nothing is perfect. Shit happens, life is messy, you can roll with it or hide away. I choose to roll with it, 99% of the time anyway.
Thank you again for reading! And Happy Holidays!
muah!
