I hope your Christmas was great. I know that the reason for this season is not about gifts. There is a deeper meaning why we celebrate Christmas. Nevertheless, I received gifts from my friends and family, for which I am very thankful.

Allow me to focus on what I got from my family: an oven mittens that can withstand 500 degrees and silpat from my husband, a cookie app of Martha Stewart for my iPad and iPhone from my son, and a lovely scarf from my daughter. Thank you guys. You have definitely zeroed in on the stuff that I wanted.

By the way, here is a video on how to wear your scarf in style as the days go colder.

Two more days and we will be celebrating the New Year. I wish that we can all take the time to reflect on the past and be hopeful for the future.

Happy New Year!
