#LTfriendsgiving // the lazy girl’s guide to celebrating holidays abroad
Having been best friends for almost twenty years (!), we’ve developed quite a few Lazy Travelers’ traditions. But our absolute favorite has to be our annual #LTfriendsgiving. There’s something magical about the holiday season, and something extra special about celebrating holidays abroad. Since our time in New York, we’ve made Thanksgiving together a yearly event, and in 2013, we took it on the road to Ashley and Jeff’s cottage in Fontainebleau, France. Since then, we’ve carved the turkey in Henley-on-Thames, England in 2014, Val d’Isère, France in 2015, and this past November, Montreal, Canada.

weekend warriors #LTfriendsgiving // thanksgiving in val-d’isère, part 2
Oh, you thought we were finished professing our love for our Thanksgiving in Val-d’Isère? You were wrong. So very, very wrong. If you read the first post detailing our #LTfriendsgiving weekend in this snowy alpine town, you’ll know we spent the majority of our time eating and drinking with our feet up by the fire.

As long-time (but admittedly infrequent) skiers, Carolyn and Jeff were itching to hit the slopes. And although he had never…

weekend warriors #LTfriendsgiving // an intro to thanksgiving in val-d’isère
The holidays have come and gone, and we’re pretty sure that no one’s more mixed up than we are to see this season go. It kicked off with an intro to Thanksgiving in Val-d’Isère that we’ll never forget. After that, it was basically non-stop Christmas cheer until the New Year. So on the one hand, we have a whole year to wait until Santa returns. Nearly 365 days until we eat all the Christmas cookies guilt-free. Whomp whomp. On the other hand, the end of this month marks the wino’s first wedding anniversary! AND somewhere in there, we have the…

#LTfriendsgiving // an alpine roadtrip with auto europe
Depending on where you live, you might be dealing with the same (disappointing) unseasonably warm weather. It’s definitely what we’re each facing in Philadelphia and London this holiday season, and it is BLEH. But while it looks like a white Christmas will take place only in our dreams this year, we can’t complain. We had a quick preview of a real winter wonderland during our alpine roadtrip for #LTfriendsgiving, and it was everything we wanted and more. We have lots to share from our long weekend in the French Alps, but we thought we’d start at the very beginning: with…
