Christmas came early this week for dozens of holiday-clad, cocktail-sipping, and charity-minded Las Vegas locals, thanks to Chic Compass Magazine and its current cover star, Via Brasil owner Anna Gomes.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHoliday Magic\u201d event felt like a Winter Wonderland, with Christmas trees (ten at last count) everywhere you looked inside Gomes\u2019 award-winning Brazilian steakhouse. Trust me when I say there was no better restaurant than Via Brasil to help get you in the holiday spirit(s)!<\/p>\n

With signature passed hors d\u2019oeuvres\u2014and plenty of wine\u2014we raised our glasses to the \u201cLegacy Edition\u201d of Chic Compass and donations for the Forgotten Song Foundation.<\/p>\n

The event was a rare chance to bring together the Foundation board, Chic Compass writers, and many supporters for a worthy cause.<\/p>\n

And I even crossed off one item from my Christmas list: an original Niki J. Sands painting. Thanks, Santa!!!<\/p>\n<\/div>
