The Fabulous! Festival Presents: Winter Holidays!

I've got a steamy mug of cocoa, chestnuts roasting, and a big roaring fire, along with some great posts about the Winter Holidays (or Summer Holidays, for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere!). Okay, maybe I only have the posts and the cocoa, but that's not a bad start for Monday morning!

To begin with, The Lemonade Stand gives a rundown of Oprah's Favorite Things for the Holidays. This list is so in-depth, you're bound to find something for everyone and in every price range!

At the Bargain Queen, we have why smaller IS better and an amazing $1 to $1 Billion Gift Guide.

The Fabulous! Festival's lovely organizer, Meg, brings us giving the gift of your musical talents and how to survive the holidays with STYLE.

Style isn't the only thing to be considerate of this holiday-- Are You A Beauty brings us a twopart series on how not to put on pounds this season (with tips that are really useful all year!).

And for the most challenging part of the holidays-- how to dress for ALL of those holiday parties! Icy at Individual Chic gives us a three part series on How To Make An Obi; she is also fantastic enough to provide some local gift options for the Australian readers. I can really get behind her idea of donating time and money for the holidays.

Jennine at the Coveted shows off her lovely new hats; Her holiday survival guide covers everything from fashion to food, and her post on Santa's Ghetto in Bethlehem, featuring the artwork of Banksy is beautiful and calls in to consideration the Christmas celebrations.

For an entry that's just cute, and oh so true, check out Blog Fabulous's Her Way Sucks, I prefer His. I used to wear boy drahs in undergrad, and boy are they comfy!
