It is without contest my most favorite time of the year.
There is something magical that happens around Christmas. The lights on everything makes the whole city beautiful. The decorations in the house are a constant reminder of the impending glorious day. The parties where you grow closer to the ones you love. The delicious food that seems to be in endless supply. The traditions that bring families closer together. The movies and music that are only on at this time. Even people become nicer, laugh more, are more giving and compassionate.
There truly is a spirit of Christmas that only happens during this season that brings joy to peoples hearts.
My family, (mom), started a new tradition this year. A holiday Murder Mystery Party! It was such a blast and everyone really got into the game, even wearing costumes from the era, 1950's, and playing their parts to a "T". We had so much fun stepping outside of the norm and pretending to be someone else for a night. I cant wait to do it again next year.
Here is Christy, "Reggie" reading up on her character.
Little do we know she is a conniving thief!
Christopher won for best character.
He kept up the act ALL night with his outrageous southern accent.
My dad. The innocent looking Dr. Bruiseyard was
the MURDERER of the night!
What a cute waitress and host.
My mom did an amazing job and the whole party went off without a hitch.
John was Patrick Evington-Browne and I was Christy Crompton.
We were both students from Harvard Law!
A great time was had by all. Love you all and have a very very happy holiday!

What a fun and unique new tradition!
Allison: Love your post. The costumes are so great and your dress and gloves are outstanding. It looks like everyone really got into the spirit of the event. How wonderful. Do you have any video clips? Your knitting projects turned out really cute. I loved the cowl neck thing you made. When I was at the mall last week I saw a lady wear this really cute knitted scarf with huge buttons holding it together. I wish I had a picture to show you but I bet you've seen them because I was watching a movie the other day and the girl in the movie was wearing something similar, so they must be pretty common. You don't see many scarves in Houston though, its too hot. Love you.
Allison: What does <3 mean?
Its a heart! And I'll send you some links .
