It's Beginning to Look a Little Like Christmas

I wouldn't say that it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here, but it is beginning to look a little like it. We have a few presents stashed away, all of cards in the mail, and a couple of strands of lights on the outside of our house. Every day, we do something else. Yesterday we cleared a spot for the tree and today we took some pictures for a gift.  So far, the goal for a calm holiday season is working. I hope that continues and it is not because it's just too early to panic. I guess we'll figure that out in a week or two. But until then, we're going with slow and steady wins the race.

Here's a few of our Christmas preparations so far.

Lights in front of the house. We've also added lights to our deck in the back.
Those are the lights we enjoy while we're in our family room.


The wreath on the outside of the front door is one of those ones with battery powered lights. While it is very pretty, I may see if I can put more lights on it, so it can be seen better at night. And if I don't get to it, as I said, it is very pretty as is.


This is the wreath on the inside of the front door. This was a door prize I won several years ago at a bow tying workshop at the library.  



Preview of one of the new ornaments for our tree. My aunt made this and gave it out at my family reunion. It's a little mail box complete with flag and two letters and a package that go inside. How cute is that?


Until next time when it will be looking a little more like Christmas...
