White Christmas

We haven't had a white Christmas in St. Louis since 2005, so it was a pretty and special sight to see all of this snow on Christmas morning this year.

Tis the season

The holidays are officially here!
Plans so far:
-Begin putting Christmas decorations up tomorrow
-Pulling out the Christmas DVDs and music
-Going to see St. Louis Ballet's production of The Nutcracker mid December
-Cookie baking day with my friend Kati close to Christmas

And I'm actually not minding the sudden drop in temperature this week. I'm happy to pull out the winter coats, scarves, and gloves. It's a welcome change.

Snowflake Decorations

Loving all of these snowflake decorations from Martha Stewart Living. Next year I want to try to make a pretty snowflake garland.

Wreaths and mini trees

Love all of these Christmas decorations-not sure if the bottom image includes Christmas decorations, but I figure it could be.

Christmas Lights

I love the pretty glow of Christmas tree lights. This year I put multi-colored lights on my little tree. I love all the colors-it feels very festive! A few evening pics:

Elf

Had to run to Target today for some printer paper, and of course I always get a little sidetracked. :-p. I ended up looking through the holiday movie sections and saw Elf for $9. I guess kind of a typical price, but I couldn't pass it up. I needed another movie to add to my holiday collection. Looking forward to watching it soon and I'm planning on a Christmas movie marathon a weekend closer to Christmas. :-)
