May You All Have A Very...

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

The mantel is decked.
Stockings are being filled...

Presents are being wrapped...

Just finished mama-mades are stashed in tippy top spots to keep them from prying eyes...

A playmat (that this mama swore she wasn't going to make for Christmas) is currently in the works...

And, a certain little boy has gotten into the spirit and made a gift of his own.  This one is especially for me.  :)

I hope your Christmas is wonderful and blessed.  As for me, I've got quite a bit of elving to do...not to mention cleaning, so I'll see you back here next week.

Charlie Brown

We've watched A Charlie Brown Christmas a few times this month. Levi has nearly the entire movie memorized.  He wanders around quoting random bits of it here and there.  Most often now he can be found with pen and paper in hand scribbling "words" and saying, "Dear Santa Claus, How are your reindeer?  I hope they are well fed."....over and over and over.  We don't really do Santa around here, so I don't think he actually knows what he's reenacting.  It's funny and sweet to watch nonetheless.
