We just got our first-ever real Christmas tree! Yipee! But, for all the hoopla about getting it, with all the tinsel and lights and baubles on it now, it looks just like our old fake tree. It smells really nice though. Just remind me not to look down on the floor. We had so much fun picking the tree out from the u-cut farm, despite below-freezing temps. We are so ready for Santa. All decorations are up, and as Jaden said last night, “we just need cookies and milk and carrots!” I made Phineas a stocking, and Jaden made a wee one at daycare for Fishy. Any ideas for stocking stuffers for a Betta fish?
Meanwhile, I had finished this chunky scarf that I knitted on impulse (read: walked through the dollar store shelves, found chunky yarn in warm green and yellow, dug out Jaden’s size-15 kiddie needles, and knitted away). It looks nice and keeps me warm, but I can’t wrap the scarf around my face because I end up with fuzz in my mouth!
Until then, take care everyone. I will be back before the holidays officially start.
