This year we exchanged secret santa gifts in LA before jetting off to Chicago for holiday festivities. It was so nice and very magical, and there were stockings and bamboo branches and lights and Vince Guaraldi and wine and laughs and a paper tree on chopsticks.
I got lucky and Jimmy Marble drew my name; he made me hand-drawn reproductions of two of my most precious photos! The first is a photo of me and three of my best friends, just being friends one night. Look!
The second is an eerily similar photo of my mom and three of her best lady friends taken the 80s before I was born. My mom and her friends were at what she later explained to be an evening of live music and outdoor frivolity held under a full moon, "one of our infamous Moondances." (!!!) They rented a boat and took it out on Lake Michigan and had a really great time.
What a cool gift. What a cool Christmas! The drawings made my mama real happy, too. She's the one in the flowers and specs up there!
Anyway they're framed and featured in the Girl Zone. Come and check them out if you can. I can even introduce you to the artist.
