If managing your family's happy holiday crush of merry madness is already making you feel a bit like Sophia Coppola managing the crowd scenes in "Marie Antoinette", well then here's a little soupçon of treats just for you.   I am pretty sure Marie would approve of all the belles choses linked below.
