I love any job that involves stringing hand-made snowflakes and drinking bubbly.  Thanks to MIX Magazine I got the chance to spend a holiday brunch with the owner of Compote Cafe, Shana Lane-Block.  I arrived early to photograph Shana cooking and found myself pitching in on the holiday festivities which included taste testing, wardrobe consultation, and decorating.  It is always a treat to be invited into someone's home to share in their merry making, especially when it tastes so good.
