Some housekeeping notes: We are knocking off early today to kick off the Christmas/New Year’s holiday, but we will be doing end-of-the-year coverage between now and January 4th, so please swing by if you get bored in the next week — there will be plenty to read. Also: No Royals Round-Up this week due to a lack of photos, but it will be back in the new year — and of course if anything exciting happens, I will break into scheduled programming!
If you missed it here at GFY, we rounded up some fun shiny things you might like!
And had a great afternoon chat about easy holiday meals.
And one about our favorite mock/cocktails!
