My husband Paul and I are in Hong Kong; working very hard on next year’s le•top collection (we are going to have really cute clothes!). We did take a fun break the other evening, because neither one of us wanted to cook dinner after a long day at the factories! We went to the Intercontinental Hotel and had dinner in the coffee shop/lounge area. Believe me, a burger here is special – because there are huge wrap around windows with a view of Hong Kong harbor.
Hong Kong goes all out at this time of year – the buildings compete to decorate the sides of the skyscrapers with holiday light displays. The lights are spectacular! At 8 o’clock p.m. there is a laser light show – coordinated on both sides of the harbor to really top things off. I must say that although we’re looking forward to being back home for the holidays – this dazzling array of lights can’t help but put us in the holiday spirit. The people here in Hong Kong love to show off their city, and this time of year the weather is wonderful (between 65 and 75 degrees fahrenheit) and the food is always great! Paul was born in Hong Kong, so he knows how to get around. Although I am a California girl (4th generation!), I always love spending time here, enjoying Paul’s extended family and working on making our le•top clothing truly special. I can’t wait to get home and decorate – although nothing will top these light displays!
’tis the season…in Hong Kong!

Wow! It must make you get into the ‘spirit’ of the season!
At home, my husband, children and I spent this past weekend decorating our house for the holidays. It is so special for us to come home to a house lit with colored lights and a glowing white star upon the chimney!
How Magnificent! What a spectacular event you get enjoy and all in temperate weather!!!
Can’t wait to go! I’ve been wanting to do the out-and-back run up Victoria Peak for quite some time:

Remember Ditta and Bela, both of whom are super attention seekers, and both love to chew on your ankles and shoes.
