This coming weekend, November 12th-15th, the Junior League of Orange County is hosting their always fabulous Christmas Company. Okay, I have to admit I've never actually been, but friends of mine, the type of people I definitely consider "in the know" swear this is one of the best events of the season. &, After perusing the schedule of events, I think I have to agree. Here are a few of my favorite events...
