Christmas is almost here, and I'm almost ready. I've been wrapping the last few gifts and baking cookies, and more cookies, for all the neighbors on our cul-de sac. Raspberry thumbprints, chocolate jam bars, oatmeal Florentines, lemon spritz, and chocolate dipped cranberry slices, plus a few dried fruit/almond chocolate clusters for my gluten free neighbor. Now they're all packed in bags and ready to deliver tomorrow.
The tree is up. Because of a trip in early December, we were late shopping for a tree, and the one we ended up with shed a lot of needles and looks a little skimpy around the bottom, but it smells wonderful. Besides, it's not the tree but the memories that make the magic.
So I'm going to take a moment to sit and drink a cup of tea ...
and admire the tree.
So many ornaments with so many memories...
Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas with lots of good memories, and a wonderful 2015!

So many ornaments with so many memories...
The one my husband's grandmother embroidered when our son was born ... |
The souvenir ornaments collected on trips ... |
The ones the kids picked out or made over the years ... |
And of course, the reason for the celebration. |
Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas with lots of good memories, and a wonderful 2015!
