I've been keeping up with my Christmas Journal, and so far it's been a December Daily. I haven't done as well getting it photographed for the blog, but today I had some time to work on that as well. Here are the next three days, and I'll be back soon with a few more.
I always document something about the holiday decorations. This year I decided to focus on the new things in the house. The big one is our gas fire place. We've talked about doing this for years, and should have done it a long time ago. We're really enjoying it, despite the fact that we're having one of the warmest Decembers in recent memory! I also found some tiny white lights for our mantel at a little shop in Indiana in October. I've looked for just the right thing for several years, and finally found them. The silver tray with candles is also new, and a bit fancier than my usual collection on the coffee table. The big red candle is a citrus cinnamon, and smells delicious!
I also like documenting the Christmas displays I see around town, and here are a few that caught my eye this year. Love those little polar bears with their noses stuck in the shopping bags.
December 5th was a busy day. We visited the South Wedge for their Christmas festivities, and hosted a family dinner that night. Skylar and Emma are sitting in a little chair that belonged to my father.
As always, I'm glad to be capturing these bits and pieces of our holiday season.
