And i think chocolate for breakfast is a good Christmas tradition to start </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986394 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 19:58:00 +0000 Inge 1986394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the black and red outfit, Fashintern, and the flat looks lovely and festive. I had to smile when I saw your son smiling so happily in the third picture (that's how I feel about chocolate fondue too;-). Happy holidays, and I really hope you'll be celebrating next Christmas in your new home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986374 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 18:56:56 +0000 Cee 1986374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty cool, Fash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986373 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 18:55:16 +0000 Angie 1986373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>FashIntern</b>, thanks for the reply. I hope you create many happy moments and traditions with DS, family and friends, over the course of the holiday season in future. Non-traditonal traditions are even more fabulous.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986367 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 18:47:29 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1986367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, he hasn't opened them yet! We've agreed to open presents on Epiphany this year. The pragmatic reason is that he was late getting his present for me this year, and one of mine for him hasn't arrived yet, but since I cried nearly as much on Christmas Day this year as I have in recent years with my family (but NOT on any days leading up to it), this might be better in other ways too. Who knows--if chocolate fondue for brunch and opening together on the 6th become traditions for us, we might even go back to joining his grandparents, aunts &amp; uncles, and cousins on the 25th. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986293 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 15:06:08 +0000 Angie 1986293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet, <b>Fashintern</b>. These are the moments in life that count. Hope DS liked his new Converse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986143 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 00:42:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1986143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks Jenni! It's actually not embroidery, but I appreciate the compliment. I like the festive look here that I'll probably leave everything but the tree up until we move at the end of January. Happy New Year to you!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Angie, thank you. We need our own traditions more than you know. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986112 Thu, 27 Dec 2018 21:22:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 1986112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great FashIntern, fabulous jumper and pants embroidery! I am happy for you that your son has settled well and is getting a social life. It was a huge move and getting your own place will be awesome. But your stuff and the existing furnishings there look amazing together- so festive! It's 28th here now so...Happy New Year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1986044 Thu, 27 Dec 2018 16:52:21 +0000 Angie 1986044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Christmas.

We do have fun. Hope your holidays were good. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anne, the detail is a couple of flowers, made by trim that's stitched on. A little unusual.&nbsp; "Breakfast" wasn't exactly early in the morning for us that day.</div><div><br /></div><div>Suz, lol about "cute"--so true! We lucked out with the red decor in this place right around Christmas!</div><div><br /></div><div>Meiss, welcome! Hope you had a good Christmas too.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Shevia! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Bijou! We like yummy;)</div><div><br /></div><div>Anchie, yes, a move just before turning 16 is tough, and tbh, there are moments when "you made me move" comes up. But overall I think he is doing well. Having his first girlfriend here helped, I think, and learning the language certainly does. He tells me that "active shooter" drills at school and the number of black people shot by cops/reported to police for stupid reasons don't bother him like they do me, but I know he tries to explain the consequences of extreme individualism to kids at school, and how things are better here. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Suntiger--want a bite? The fondue pot was a present to him--in college I had fondue parties, and asked guests to bring "dippables" to share. Now that he has a social life, I wonder if he'll do the same. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Pic is detail of pant leg, but I'm not sure it shows much better than the original. There is a smaller version on the other leg, also on bottom of pant leg. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985908 Thu, 27 Dec 2018 01:20:29 +0000 Anonymous 1985908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the flower pants! And mmm chocolate fondue </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985819 Wed, 26 Dec 2018 11:43:17 +0000 anchie 1985819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merry Christmas! Hope next one will be in your own place. How old is your son? You are lucky that he adopted so well to the move, mine would be much more rebellious to have to leave friends behind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985808 Wed, 26 Dec 2018 10:44:25 +0000 Bijou 1985808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, your outfit is beautiful, I really like the festive trim on the sweater and velvet pants. Chocolate fondue - how yummy is that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985783 Wed, 26 Dec 2018 04:21:55 +0000 Melss 1985783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys look so happy!

I can't really see the detail on your picture of the velvet pants, but your description sounds like it has fit your bill. Like your decorations! Chocolate fondue for breakfast sounds very exotic. Have a wonderful day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985757 Tue, 25 Dec 2018 22:28:31 +0000 bridgie 1985757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice and elegant.&nbsp; And ready for fun.&nbsp; Merry Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985755 Tue, 25 Dec 2018 20:49:53 +0000 rachylou 1985755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that sweater and just now noticed the fancy work on your pants hem!</p> <p>Lilypup and I are full of Christmas fondue as well. Lilypup is so full, she simply hid her stocking treat for later! (4 small cubes of cheese soaked bread, lol.) (The apple bit - she just licked off the cheese and left the apple, ha!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985749 Tue, 25 Dec 2018 20:07:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1985749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks BD--happy holidays to you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985741 Tue, 25 Dec 2018 19:03:02 +0000 Barbara Diane 1985741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merry Christmas to you both. How fun and festive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-at-40-degrees-fmerry-christmas#post-1985732 Tue, 25 Dec 2018 17:10:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1985732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>So I did finally get my velvet on. I like these pants, because the waist has a nice yoke, so I don't look shapeless even with the gently flowing velvet. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And I finally decorated for Christmas, just in time for DS to open his little fondue set and us to have some chocolate fondue. The blankets, pillow covers and most things on the table are ours, as are the gold candle holders, string of paper hearts, and Santa on the shelf. The glass bowls, serving platter, little rocking horse and other decorations on the bookshelf are not. I'm looking forward to being in our own place long before next Christmas, with our own furniture and the stuff that's still in the Florida storage locker. I do have a couple nice table runners, but generally think these things will blend in well with the rest without repeating. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Hope you're all having happy holidays!<br /></div></p>
