A SoCal Christmas




I had a wonderfully relaxing Christmas here in L.A. For some reason, this year I've felt the holiday spirit more than I have in a very long time. And although, there's nothing like being at home with my family for Christmas, it made me feel good to shop for and create special gifts to send to them in Pennsylvania.

My sister Erin and I were on a crafting kick this year. Probably because as a kid, my mom always kept us busy making ornaments, sewing, cooking, and being creative during the weeks leading up to Christmas. It felt natural to bring that tradition to California. For weeks, my house has been littered with glue guns, brushes, paint, glitter, and wrapping paper. A beautiful mess!

I also attended some really fun holiday parties, actually mailed out all my Christmas cards, and even made it to an acting class two days before Christmas. I've been having so much fun in Mike Pointer's class, I couldn't imagine missing it.
