This weekend I started phoning family members, immediate and extended, to find out their plans for the holidays--Thanksgiving and Christmas. "But it's only Columbus Day!" you wisely point out. I know, I know. Like most families, ours keeps growing. These years, it takes till mid-November to get everyone to declare their holiday plans. I made a few phone calls to get the process started. If I didn't know better, I'd say the phone calls have put me in a holiday mood, because I'm suddenly noticing lots of lovely party tops online, like the Anne Klein Sleeveless Cross Drape Blouse, Ships 11/11 (Blue)
