Almost time for a tender Tennessee Christmas!
Awaiting the arrival of my sister and her hubs Friday, I snuggled with my main pirate squeeze…
After my hot date with the statue and my company’s arrival, we went to Nashville’s fabulous version of a speakeasy – The Patterson House. Low lighting, velvet curtains, hand crafted drinks and fancy finger food make this establishment a favorite .

‘Open Invitation’ was my vodka cocktail of choice that included some sort of bitters, an egg white and a cinnamon star as garnish.
After a few cocktails and a sip of apple pie moonshine, Friday night kinda felt like this…
Of course Teddy was appalled at his mother’s behavior and sulked on the ugliest blanket I own.
He carried on and on and on about how late we kept him up, disrupting his beauty sleep.
A stop in the mall and I caught two of my favorite (and cutest) fans telling Santa what he must bring them this year.
More fun in store as I celebrated my First Mate’s birthday and Christmas over our favorite, strawberry martinis at The Cheesecake Factory.
First Mate gifted me a few trashy treasures as a nod to my White Trash Wednesdays here at CBXB and it’s one of the best presents ever.
I mean, who doesn’t love a candy cigarette?

Classy kids like my cousin and I loved kickin’ back with a sugared cancer stick.
After all of the holiday shenanigans, I needed a quite cocktail at home but soon realized I was almost out of wine. The horror!

Squeezing every last drop out of my boxed wine bag into my 30 ounce glass. Don’t judge. It’s holiday time!
And, I’m pretty sure I’m going to make this chalkboard a staple outside of my front door:
Very merry times, indeed.
