A couple of years ago we celebrated Christmas and a birthday with friends.  Last year we opened presents, ate breakfast, and jumped into the car for a big drive to Los Angeles for a week long sailing trip. This year we stayed home on our boat and enjoyed spending time with friends and neighbors in our marina.</p> <p>We decorated Convivia with <a href="http://gardenmama.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/01/as-the-snow-continues-to-fall-outside-of-our-windows-we-gather-together-at-the-table-to-create-waldorf-inspired-kite-paper.html">Waldorf paper stars</a>, white lights, and ornaments on the inside; bought, decorated, and redecorated  a tiny tree that fit nicely in the middle of the table; cut dozens of <a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-make-5-pointed-paper-snowflakes.html">paper snowflakes</a>; lit a peppermint scented candle; and enjoyed the company of our friends in the days leading up to Christmas.</p>
