Dreams Come True

Okay, so I'll eat my words. I was dreaming of a green Christmas here in the northwest and we actually got a white one. It snowed in Portland on Christmas! I remember every Christmas as a kid wishing that it would snow, so today's blanket of white was nostalgic and happy.

The Holly and the Ivy

Would you believe I've never seen real holly? Not until I noticed how many of our neighbors have it growing right in their front yard.

Christmas Kickoff

Turkey Day's over--let the Christmas festivities begin! I love poppin' on a favorite Christmas CD, opening boxes of decorations, and getting into a relaxed, creative flow. Now if only someone would invent a strand of Christmas lights that would automatically eject any burnt out bulbs and replace them without my intervention.
