it's beginning to look a lot like christmas.

the lights are up. so are the angels. and the snowmen.


and the putz vintage houses and trees.


but not the big tree. that is still to come.



there are presents to buy (and make). gifts to wrap. songs to sing. christmas pageants. the nutcracker to see. the symphony to hear. and cards. to send. but for now. i'm just enjoying the twinkling lights. and sparkly ornaments.
