Images of Christmas

My son has discovered the joys of hot cocoa

The stockings were hung....

I've collected old-timey ornaments from antique stores, and my grandma has given me many beautiful ornaments. They are by far my favorites.

I have bittersweet wreaths instead of pine this year

I can't say that I was overly excited to decorate this year, but now that it's done, the house feels quite festive. I love the glow of the Christmas lights at night and first thing in the morning while it's still dark. It makes the house feel warmer somehow!
