Southern Weddings

Ho, ho, ho! It’s that time again! Time for the SW ladies’ annual Christmas photo with Santa, that is. Why yes, we do gather our whole office and arrive at the mall with festive attire in tow. Why yes, we do wait in line with mothers and small children. Why yes, we do sit on Santa’s lap. And the result?

Brilliant. In case you’re not familiar with our smiling faces, that’s Assistant Editor Whitney, Editor in Chief Lara, Intern Sierra, Intern Nicole, Art Director Emily, and Managing Editor Katharine from left to right. The only gal not pictured in Marissa, who joins in the SW fun remotely from Florida. Love you, Marissa!

Also, following tradition, we wanted to share our Christmas wish lists with you. In case, you know, anyone out there’s feeling generous :)

Lara wants a geek on-call to fix all of our technology woes, blank canvases to paint, and a Smilebooth for the office.

Katharine wants candy. Lots and lots of candy. In large bulk quantities, naturally. (Note from KTW: I think my Amazon wish list sums it up best. A pair of my very favorite running shoes should help minimize the effects of the rest of my list. Right?)

Emily wants a parka, a pair of Jack Rogers sandals in platinum, and Frye boots. (If you’ve been around for awhile, you may recall that she wished for them last year, too…)

Whitney wants a Michael Kors tortoiseshell watch, a Kate Spade iPhone cover, an Ann Taylor silver pump and world peace, per usual.

Nicole wants a plane ticket to Japan where her Marine boyfriend is stationed, a new bookcase from Ikea (hers is doing a nice impression of the Leaning Tower of Pisa right now), and a Flip video camera.

Sierra wants a warm jacket to replace her unflattering puffy coat, a pair of designer jeans and Lucky Brand boots.

What are you wishing for this Christmas, dear readers?

Written with love by Emily
