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, fathers, and small children. Why yes, we do awkwardly jostle over who will (or will not) sit on Santa’s lap. And the result?
Brilliant. This year we were actually slightly legitimate, as we had Lara’s new baby Grace along for the ride! In case you’re not familiar with our smiling faces, that’s Editor in Chief Lara (with Grace), Director of Advertising Whitney, and Editorial Assistant Nicole in the back, with Assistant Art Director Sierra and Art Director Emily in the front. The only gal not pictured in Marissa, who joins in the SW fun remotely from Florida or other parts of the world where her baseball player husband’s travels take them.
Also, following tradition, we wanted to share our Christmas wish lists with you. In case, you know, anyone out there’s feeling generous :)
Whitney would like a beautiful leather bag to tote her laptop to and fro the Southern Weddings office, a Jonathan Adler mug to feed her coffee addiction, and a Kate Spade planner to stay organized in the new year.
Sierra would like the perfect pair of leather riding boots, the Carly earrings from Kendra Scott (since she couldn’t win our giveaway!), and a classic black crossbody bag.
Nicole would like a sparkly dress in which to celebrate New Year’s Eve, a new teacup so her old favorite can get a break once in awhile, and a new laptop! (“It’s time,” she says.)
Marissa would like a shiny gold dress, a glittery laptop case, and a logo cuff from Tory Burch. As the remote member of the office, she would also like to put in a request for a private jet :)
And I would like a set of these tortoiseshell glasses, the perfect pair of cowboy boots, and a Southwest gift card (we’ll be doing a LOT of flying next year!).
Tell us: What are you wishing for this Christmas?
P.S. Our 2010 visit to Santa!

[…] Dozens of cookies have been baked, presents have been wrapped and the Southern Weddings ladies have visited Santa. That’s right. We stood in line with mothers and children for the chance to get our photo […]
Nicole, I just got that glittery gold dress from ASOS and it is EVERYTHING and more in person :)
Happy Holidays, ladies! And thank you again for putting out quality (and gorgeous) content again and again! xo Katherine
Katherine, I really might have to follow suit and buy it, too, it looks gorgeous! Have a wonderful holiday season and thanks for those kind words :)
