The Olde Money Holiday Affaire!

Derick et Moi

Everyone has those friends who, through sheer amazing real estate karma, land amazing places to live in New York. For me, that friend is Derick. He's a fellow writer and a man of wisdom who found not only a spacious two bedroom in Cobble Hill, but one with a proper parlour. That said, it only seemed natural to start throwing annual Olde Money Holiday Affaires in this grandiose apartment. Because it's better to have no money than to be new money.

The whole set can be found here.

Although it was only December 2nd, Derick and Kyle already had their tree up.
Oh, Tanenbaum!


...complete with gorgeous glass ornaments.

This is Rootbeer, their very social Corgi. He wore a tuxedo collar for the occasion.

There was no shortage of giggle water at this affaire.

Mistletoe did not inspire this smooch.
Smooch. No Mistletoe Involved.

Everyone always ends up in the kitchen.
