A Style Statement Holiday: Celebrations
- I want to go to Sensual’s cocktail party. I’m sure the jazz will be muted, the mohair throw will coordinate with the velvet upholstery, and the mulled wine will hit my nose long before it caresses my tongue.
- I also want to attend Elemental’s Winter Solstice ceremony. We’ll gather in the snow, invite the blessings of the elements, tell our troubles to cedar boughs and toss them in a bonfire, and then dance in the new year.
- Of course, I wouldn’t miss caroling with Traditional—especially the eggnog-soaked after-party for kids and grownups!

Midwinter is the perfect time to gather with friends, family, and loved ones. Whether you’re gathering to share warmth or spread joy, your Style Statement holds the key to your celebration style.
My style statement is Creative Joy, and the celebration I’m most looking forward to this year involves making stuff: specifically, making cookies with my family. I plan to blast the carols, roll out the dough, and let the three year old man the cookie cutters. Joy to the world!
What does your style statement say about your favorite way to party?
How do you translate your Style Statement into your holiday celebrations?

I'm Cherished Creative, and I'm hosting a chocolate fondue potluck party! I provide the chocolate, my guests provide stuff to dunk in it. Once we're all riding high on sugar, we pull out the board games.
Last year, I had a Channukah party that featured latkas, dreidels, and Mel Brooks movies. (Because no Jewish holiday is complete without Mel Brooks.)
I've very much looking forward to my party this year!
