Billy Mack in "Love Actually"

In Character: Billy Mack

Feel free to make your case for the best Christmas movie of all time elsewhere—argue the merits of Bad Santa vs. Elf, Mickey’s Christmas Carol vs. Miracle on 34th Street—but your energies are wasted here. For me, the victor is (and will always be!) Love Actually. Here, a tight pant-fueled tribute to the best character in that best movie, Bill Nighy’s back-from-the-dead Billy Mack. —erica

I love the Billy Mac character and agree, Love Actually is my top pick. Followed closely by It's a wonderful Life and The Family Stone. - me.

A silk Haider Ackermann shirt fit for celebrating the holiday with cute bird or your manager, ugliest man in the world.

A white leather Carol Christian Poell jacket that helps you remember the lyrics are “If you really love Christmas, come on and let it SNOW.”

The sort of Hannah Martin ring that recalls your heroin-binging days—back before Blue commandeered the airwaves.

My latest painting - "Wonder"

I have begun painting a series of small portraits. Faces of women with expression. This profile is difficult to read, is she shocked by what she has seen?  Did her friend just tell her some juicy gossip? Is she deciding what to wear in her closet? I think the later, her expression is a light with wonder.

This year's Christmas card

Okay, it has been a few years since I have sent out a Christmas card. This year, I ran out of time to create a card online through the number of online printers. Happens every year, blah, blah, blah. I created this very simple card in photoshop. Used cute photos of my adorable kids, Hannah and Jake and my sweet dog, Bear. I think people still like to see how fast the kids are growing. Add a thoughtful message, (this year from the Beatles) and I'm off to Kinkos/fed ex. Thirty minutes later I have a card to send to family and friends. Ta da and fa la la la la.
