Patty brought down all of our Christmas decorations from the attic. There are 14 boxes, 2 baskets, a popcorn can, and a plastic shopping bag. Our house has about 1600 square feet of living space, already full of stuff. I love all of our Christmas decorations, but there's no room to put them all out. Soooo, we have to get rid of some of it. There are seven fancy stockings, a set of Christmas dishes, a dozen Christmas mugs, two creche sets, two boxes of tree ornaments, two or three boxes of Santa Clauses in all shapes and sizes, and I haven't opened the rest of the boxes. They have all been small pleasures when we bought and used them, and I hope it will be small, happy pleasures to share them with some family.
Other small pleasures this past week:
The wildfower flowers blooming in the median of Fern Avenue, just norht of 70th St. Thank you to the planters and tneders.
A pair of leopard print shoes I bought at Dillard's. They are so cute.
Writing my annual Christmas letter and making a collage of pictures I took during the year.
My daughter-in-law starting a blog because I did. (She is at blogspot.com as pianoplayer)
Buying poinsettas at Akins with a gift certificate from my friend Modelle.
Shopping and having lunch with my sister.
