Holiday Season 2017 - Reindeer

I bought this reindeer while out and about with Noel this past weekend. He'll look good with the rest of the collection.

Holiday Season 2017 - Today's Notes

Tuesday, December 5, 2017

Not feeling too well today so Dale took good care of me after school. On top of this he made a dinner of salmon, French green beans, and bread. Tonight we watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It's amazing how some details move by so quickly in the show. I love the insight into the Grinch's character that's revealed in the quick scene where instead of just throwing a poinsettia plant into his sack he plucks off every leaf one by one. 
It snowed overnight after last evening's rain which left everything outside, including the holiday greenery arrangement looking much more festive.

Holiday Season 2017 - A Charlie Brown Christmas

Monday, December 4, 2017


Another freakishly warm day for December with a high that actually reached 57 degrees. The rain started to fall as we were watching A Charlie Brown Christmas this evening. The temperature is plummeting as I write this and it's supposed to turn into snow soon.

Picked this arrangement up from a colleague at work doing some fundraising for her daughters dance lessons.  A little snow on the ground would help it look a bit more festive.

As I was walking home from school today on a freakishly warm December afternoon, I decided to check out the Candy Jar to check out there holiday stuff. Picked up a cool mug and some chocolate covered pretzels.
