the sweetest giveaway
Someone did something very nice for me last week.
Last week, I said: Why, though, have I not found Love Actually on television yet this season?
I ASK YOU and, miraculously, not one but TWO dvd's of the movie showed up in my mailbox.
Isn't the internet a lovely place?
But, no one needs TWO copies of the dvd of Love Actually, do they?
No.
So.
I will send a dvd to one devoted reader.
Tell me, dear readers...tell me what you are wearing to your Christmas celebration!
I will put the comments through a random number generator (which I will find with google, right?) and choose and announce, and even link to, the fortunate winner.
Ready?
Set?
Go!

However, last weekend we had a small gathering at our house and I wore very dark dress jeans, a Christmas red boatneck sweater with a touch of rouching at the neck and the loveliest red beaded long necklace and earring set.
my christmas gathering ensemble will most likely be jeans, boots & a sweater. very casual, functional & comfortable. i'll accessorize with my college graduation watch (practically an antique!) and a bracelet my oldest son bought for me for 50 cents and that i love more than i can say.
anyway, i couldn't find the exact color sweater online, but i found it's relative: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/ladyquentincrisp/sweater.jpg
the sweater was black, the trim grey, the diamonds were red and grey with green piping. VERY festive. i wore it with black slacks and silver leaf-cluster earrings. my favorite part about this sweater was how i FELT wearing it, not only extremely comfortable, but pretty too. :)
We're having 3 Christmas celebrations, thanks to complicated schedules of everyone involved, so I get to dress up three times.
I'll wearing a matte black sequined long top over leggings and boots for one.
I'll break out a white on white dotted sleeveless top with long black ribbon around the neck (purchased at Club Monaco in NYC in Sept) for another.
And the shaggy black faux fur vest (from Target, and you would never know!) with a white flowy blouse - black pants or skirts with all...
I tend to overbuy festive clothes every fall, in my rush to bring on the holidays, and barely get a chance to wear it all once. I'm happy for all the chances I get this year.
I hope you wear your fabulous cashmere arm warmers to everything this season, and a merry christmas!
We are a pretty casual group here :)
Bummer.

Did you watch the deleted scenes yet? They're the best! esp. the scenes with the "Deeply Unpleasent Son Bernard" and the "Scary/Stern Headmistress" Funny as hell and made me like this movie even more than I already do.
Happy Christmas,
Scot

I cannot alas describe my Christmas outfit to you, in fact I cannot even describe my "meeting bb IRL" outfit either. The...pressure...the...pressure... BUT, as Kim kindly reminds me whenever I'm preparing for a splitsing.. make sure you wear clean undies and an artistic brooch.
and I missed my work social - which to be frank is not necessarily a bad thing.
we are having dinner with friends ... I may break out the red chucks
For Christmas, I'll wear a blue button down top with a gray cashmere sweater and jeans. Comfy, warm and perfect for playing on the floor with the kids and looking somewhat dressed up for the Christmas pictures!
I'm not sure what I'll be wearing but it will most likely involve a sun hat and sandals as we're off to Queensland and it will be stinking hot.
Happy Christmas to you dear BB!
I'll be wearing Eileen Fisher something. And a smile.
For our Christmas celebration, I'll be wearing a black drapey top from Lafayette 148, pair of black Eileen Fischer pants, black socks, and black black Cordani clogs. I'll wear my red and green Indian enamel necklace and the coordinating earrings I bought when I was shopping WITH YOU.
I totally deserve that movie.
I do love Love Actually, and will watch it year-round... and will always, alway cry at the scene in the restaurant.
form fitting black sweater dress that comes to just below my knees, over a pair of dark jeans that flare and stop right at the ground over 4inch black ankle boots. PLUS SPANX to wrangle the girls in.
accessories: a few of granny's pieces.
haven't seen the movie but love a good christmas flick.
Hmmm- I know I will wear nice jewels - a pretty kaftan from Boden UK and some white pants from Samos in Greece-
Merry Christmas my dear BB - I send you a hug via Eleanor..
Anyway, I haven't seen it, put me in please! I haven't a clue what I'll be wearing, exactly. Black, black, and a bit of silver?

So very Mad Men.
It's a good looking sweater.
We didn't do a holiday party this year. But I would have worn what Cary Perk said she would wear. I thought those outfits sounded just about right.

I expect to wear a dark navy Velvet knit top with an embellished panel at the decolletage, a grey pencil skirt, black tights and my comfy black stiletto boots. It's super comfy and just the right combo of sohpisticated, sparkly and fabulous.
Love Actually has fallen out of favour in our house since it was disclosed that Hugh Grant is OLDER than MrM which completely changed MissM's attitude to aforementioned filmstar.
