I cannot be the only one who goes loco for prosecco (and all sparkling grape). Here’s a lesson in bubbly for the upcoming Eve, courtesy of Eric Asimov for the New York Times.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree..
May I present to you the Jones Family Christmas tree 2010. It is certainly not your typical Christmas tree, but a very unique spin on the “green” tree idea.
Momma and Papa J created this very creative and almost 8 foot tall wooden ‘grinch who stole Christmas’ esque tree. And I LOVE IT.
We spent much of Friday day preparing our ornaments - painting and stringing the...
Holiday oh Holiday
The best time of the year. With my family scattered across the states, Christmas before I joined the Jones family was usually very small and intimate, but very special in it’s own way. The Adirondacks, especially this time of year, was a great place to grow up and celebrate - snow mobiles, maple syrup houses, hot cocoa, homemade scarves and card games before bed. This year we celebrate Jones...
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

2K10 Jones Tree
The biggest one we’ve owned! I’d like to call it our first tree, because I don’t believe our pre-lit table top tree counted as a ‘real’ tree.
Clearly we need to acquire more festive and meaningful bulbs for our official tree. Target just didn’t offer the selection I was hoping for.*
A scavenger hunt for Christmas tree bulbs at an antique shop is in my...
