christmas at my house
even though i’m still not feeling super-chrismtasy, i’ve gone a good job of trying:
my santa bobblehead has been hanging around since thanksgiving weekend. he originally belonged to my grandparents. i don’t know what happened to his head, but i imagine it was my grampa that put him back together.
no tree this year, but my favorite ornaments are out in a bowl in the living room.
kristin and i went for a run yesterday morning and afterward she gave me one of her fish ornaments. eeeee! as i jumped up and down, the frost in my hair fell like snow.
cookie cutters from my childhood… weeks ago i bought a big package of white sculpey clay, intending on making garland or a mobile but i haven’t had time for that project yet.
there’s lots of good mail waiting for me, including a package from jackie. i haven’t been able to open it yet — i think i’ll wait until christmas morning.
i only eat one of these yummy treats a day. can you believe it? i know, it’s a christmas miracle!
and of course, there’s santa. i bought him last year, and he lights up my house around 4pm every day, and stays up with me until midnight.

candy cane joe joes? is this a local treat? i’ve never seen those before (thank God, cause i don’t think i could leave it at one a day.) hello again mr. claus you are my favorite decoration of all.

i think your place looks perfectly festive. who needs a tree? i love the bobblehead santa even more because he was repaired and the fish and the cookies! fun!

What a fantastic little tour!! I keep my holiday cookie cutters in a tin like that too. Seem appropriate.

(…) and stays up with me until midnight… when he turns back into a pumpkin…
