The Shortest Day!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Did you ever notice how the shortest day of the year is also one of the very busiest! I was still Christmas shopping long after dark while the wonderful  (eclipse happening NOW!) full moon rose high in the purple velvet sky.

We did get out Tree! A real tree, a spruce or fir....

At the firehouse as always.

The second batch of trees had just arrived! So they were fresh and beautiful, a fragrant blue green...

We took our Tree home...

Got it up...

And it fell over! Now it s just barely standing, like a wisp of breeze and---splat!

I hope not...I've collected my ornaments for years...

My little mechanical lighthouse topper, from a long ago Christmas shopping Sunday in Greenwich Village.....

They are all loved...

treasured memories, too....

I hope you all are enjoying the festive days...despite the busy-ness!

Have fun! Enjoy!

love
