♥ Loving Christmas spirit


The tree is up and sparkling. The front door is festooned with a new wreath. The Eiffel tower is glowing with fairy lights... it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


I made the wreath in about 10 minutes for about $10 yesterday. A half-price plain wreath from our friends at Lincraft, a bunch of ribbons cut up and tied on each branch. A little birdy ornament from Morgan and Finch strung up in the middle. Easy peasy and I just love it.


I add something Christmassy each year. My favourite is my fat garland-toting boy angel with his nose permanently toffed. He just seems to be saying "meh, this Christmas gig, I can take it or leave it".

See, the Eiffel tower really is strung up with fairy lights!


Are you ready? Have you done your shopping? Can you feel December sliding away like a sled on snow?
