When best friends celebrate their love in December, cuddling isn’t so hard to do. It began at the Christmas-adorned Plough & the Stars in Old City. Tom & Julia enjoyed a Guinness by the fire with a sweet Irish folk band serenading them on this chilly Sunday afternoon. We explored the neighborhood together, stopping through old bookstores, colorful puddles, snowy gardens, historic & colorful Elfreth’s alley and even made a stop through the windy, yet always epic Race Street Pier to enjoy the view of the Ben Franklin Bridge. These two love Philadelphia, so we couldn’t end the day without a romantic Septa train to part ways. If only every day could be as lovely, cozy and festive as this one. I’ll take it! 🙂
