To wrap up our week of Holman Ranch daydreaming, here's…
Happy Holidays & Comments for Cans!
I’ve had an incredible year! Among other things: I biked the island of Manhattan on a tandem, attended the Black & White Ball, went backpacking for the first time, threw a bridal shower, got married, went on a month-long honeymoon road trip and celebrated a historic election night.
Going through the archives of this wonderful year helped me to realize just how lucky I am. So lets spread the love!
Leave a comment on this post (one per person please) between now and January 7 and for each one I’ll donate a can to the local food bank. Over 100 150 comments? I know you can do it! Let me know which was your favorite post of the year, recommend canned goods to buy or just wish me happy holidays.
I’m off for Christmas with my family down south and then to North Carolina for the week shortly after. I’ll be back on the blog at the start of the New Year.

My favorite post was definitely the b-day post about the Seward Street Slides…I wish I could have my birthday there!
Thanks for donating!
Happy Holidays! Thanks for doing this.
A very Merry Christmas – what a year, and what a moment. Here’s to a joy filled 2009 and to remembering to give together as much as we can. Thanks for the timely reminder.
All my very best from a first-time poster and avid reader in London and New York.
My favorite post was the one about the china for your registry (http://emilystyle.blogspot.com/2008/01/wedding-wednesday.html).
First you loved it, then the price shock. Then there was hope and in the end you got it.
I wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year. Enjoy the time with your family and thanks for donating.
Make sure you get some chicken-and-stars soup. Might make a sick kid very happy.
Merry Christmas, Em!
What a great idea. Merry Christmas!
happy happy holidays! and what a great idea for a great cause!
All I can think of is doing the Can Can now! Possibly with Andy Warhol. Clearly I need more sleep. But yay for comments and cans!

There are just too many great posts to choose from. I don’t know if it was from this year or not, but one of my favorite posts was when you made a thank you list for Rob for his birthday. It was so sweet! Best wishes to you both and here’s to a great 2009!
Happy Holidays Emily (and Rob)! Thank you for your site, because it is such a favorite of mine. Happy New Year too, lady!

Great idea, love your blog! Especially your style advice.
Lovely! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Ah, so kind. Happy Holidays. It was definitely lovely seeing your wedding come out so beautiful.
Merry Christmas, Emily! I hope 2009 treats you and Rob just as well, if not better, than sweet, sweet 2008. If you shop at Trader Joe’s, I love their canned turkey chili. So easy, so filling, so tasty and warm! xoxo
A very Merry Christmas to yourself and Rob!

Love the blog! My favorite two posts this year was the July 31st What to Wear: Gray and Cranberry and the August 4th Leslie’s Shower. The table was so cute!

Merry Christmas! I’m coming out of lurker status for your great idea. I enjoy reading your blog even though it makes me miss SF!

Nice idea! Hope your Xmas was fab.
What a wonderfully clever idea. Happy holidays!
Wahoo! What a generous idea.
This has been one of my best years ever! Hoping 2009 can live up to my new expectations. Have a great trip!
I love your What To Wear posts!
Happy Holidays!
I love following your blog, Emily. I came for the What to Wear posts, but found myself always inspired by all of your creative pursuits. Wolfgang Puck soups is one of the few yummy things I can think of from a can! Happy Holidays!
Hope you had a nice Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Thank you for all the wonderful posts this year! Please include Spaghetti-o’s for the food bank. When my 3 girls were small we went through a rough time and used the food bank – the girls were so excited about those spaghetti-o’s!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride on your great 2008!
The 'what to wear' posts. Your ideas are inspiring & I have even purchased a few of the items you have featured. I also love your day to day posts when you simply share whatever happens to be of interest to you that day: whether it's something you find pretty for yourself or apartment, a yummy restaurant, or whatever happens to be going on around you. Keep them coming!
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays! Hope you have a great vacation in North Carolina, my home state π
Nice to remember our blessings…
Great idea! Great year! Congrats!
Mark me down as #87, Mrs. Em! π
