Christmas Stuff

Weather: Cold, but sunny and clear.

Music: Nothing at the moment.

Mood: Pretty good.

What I'm doing right now: Decluttering the house and taking down some of my Christmas stuff.

We almost had a white Christmas this year--there was a prediction of snow on Christmas Day but we didn't get any until the next day. This is what my yard looked like last Wednesday morning:




The snow stopped by early afternoon, and by 4:00 it had warmed up enough that almost all of it had melted and dried up.

Christmas week was a little busier than usual . . . I got to spend a lot of time visiting with friends, catching up on movies, and eating a lot more than I should have. It was a lot of fun, but I'm kind of glad it's all over now so I can spend a few days at home catching up on other stuff.

I spent Christmas afternoon at my brother Tom's house, enjoying a truly wonderful turkey dinner (did I mention that he and Charlotte are really good cooks?), visiting with the two of them and watching my niece Emelia enjoying her presents, which included a fairy dress, a new chair, and a really cool electric car (which she was a little wary of at first because of one the sound effects):




I've got some other ones, but it'll be a few days (probably longer) before I can get them resized and posted.
