Holiday Happiness in the NE

For two years in a row I have spent Christmas and New Years in the Northeast. This year, I accompanied my new beau, Alex, to his hometown in New Jersey and spent time with his very Italian family and with friends new and old.

When not hanging out in New Jersey and eating lots of yummy Italian food, I had the opportunity to ski in Vermont, to visit my lovely friend, Michele, in NYC and to celebrate New Years with 20 other revelers and some very large dogs at a winery/farm somewhere in New York state.
