Outside Looking In

Tonight will be the longest night of the year.

Glass Ornaments

Added a few more ornaments to the tree tonight. My friend Noel got me interested in collecting glass ornaments quite a few years back.

Santas

Set these out a few days ago.

Angel Figures

Today I set out these angels that Mom gave me a few years back. They appeared in the house on Stevens for many, many Christmases. Mom says that Grandma Jean gave them to her in the early or mid-1970s,

Michael Buble

Did a little more decorating of the tree while listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album.

Decorating the Tree

Got some ornaments on the tree tonight. I'm far from done but it's a start!

Irving Berlin's White Christmas

Dale and I finished watching White Christmas tonight. We started it last night but I fell asleep about two-thirds of the way through it (due to last nights martinis).  Dale and I have fond memories of seeing Rosemary Clooney doing a Christmas concert at Orchestra Hall in the late 1990s. She showed clips from the movie, sang songs from it and told funny stories about the making of it.
