Picnic Date

I’m here to remind you that the January round of Men Only is still running and if I could blog all the awesome new releases for this round I would! Today I’m showcasing the Spiked Hairbase by Brabus, Chest Tattoo by Meshmafia (they have a whole collection of small tattoos like this one available), the Luiz Chain by Guwopp and the Bryson Plaid Pants by my own long time blog sponsor Lapointe & Bastchild. The latter two I blogged before but they fit this scene so well and I also wanted a closer photo of the Italian Loafers by L&B. Oh and the Stefan Eyebrows by Eaglelux I’ve also blogged before but I love them so much I wear them all the time now. Men Only runs through February 15th.

CHEZ MOI is serving up some romance over at the Cupid’s Fault Event by ACCESS with their wonderful Cupid’s Crate which is a cozy little space made of pallets, pillows and balloons. It comes packed with single and couple’s animations (PG and Adult available). I found the pose I’m using for this picture among the single male animations in the crate. Now I’m just waiting for Mahogany to get here.

Traditions

Some traditions are closer to my heart than others. As a child it’s easy to see magic in everything and especially Christmas and with a little help from loving grown-ups this magic can become real. I believed that Santa came to our house every year after midnight on the 24th of December with our Christmas tree; he decorated it and put all the presents underneath then he hung our Christmas stockings filled with candy on our bedroom doors. Sometimes if I was awake that late I could hear Santa stomping up the steps (yes the steps, he didn’t come down our chimney lol), carrying the tree, I imagined. But since I was bit shy I closed my eyes and hid under the blanket. My sister easily slept through the whole thing every time. I think my parents and my dad in particular had a lot of fun creating this memory for us even if it meant staying up very late.

Gone Shopping

Even though the Christmas holidays officially start December 25th Norwegians kick off Christmas in style on December 24th, on Christmas Eve. The stores all close at noon and following tradition people then attend an afternoon church service and after the church bells ring Christmas at 5 pm it’s time for family and friends to gather for Christmas Eve dinner and the opening of presents.

MYSA helps us count the sleeps left until Christmas with the ‘Sleeps ‘Till Christmas’ sign. It’s an interactive Advent Calendar; click the date and the little tree moves! Available in 3 different colors, two versions included – Group Only and Everyone permissions.

The Lapointe & Bastchild Jett Chinos are available in Jake, Gianni, Geralt, Slink, Legacy and AES sizes. Include both regular and cuffed versions.

Merry Christmas with the Carol Snowmen from CHEZ MOI! Touch it to display the sound menu and some random Xmas sounds will play – you can set the volume and frequency.

I Got This

I got this. Especially now that I have the Sari-Sari Beer Advent Calendar. Then with help from CHEZ MOI I can make gingerbread houses and I can wrap all my presents with the new gift boxes from Granola. Yup. And still look good too, wearing the Crockett outfit from Hoorenbeek.

The Sari-Sari Beer Advent Calendar is both decorative and functional as it dispenses you a holdable beer (male and female and also right and left hand versions). Find this awesome piece at The Warehouse Sale event. Skål!

For Tannenbaum, CHEZ MOI made a fantastic DIY Gingerbread House Decor Set. I couldn’t fit all the set pieces in this picture so make sure you check it out at Tannenbaum!

Granola‘s Noelle Gift Boxes Mod/Transfer versions for Happy Weekend and Mod/Copy versions for the Granola Black Friday Sale. Both sales run through Monday!
