Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly...Tra, La, La, La!

Matt and I carried on our holiday tradition of decking our halls the day after Thanksgiving. We hung the wreath on the door, put our new silver bells over the lights on either side of the garage, decorated the outdoor trees. We put the tree up, untangled the lights, hung the ornaments...





Put the star on top the tree...



And set out the nativity set. We've added the three wise men this year - and will hopefully finish the set next year! I love Willow Tree!

Picked Myself Some Weeds

Found some holiday cheer while out walking the pups today - lovely red berries in the brush next to the community pond. There are two different kinds and I think one is winterbery and the other wild rose hips.

One of my neighbors was outside and saw me walking past with dogs in tow and twigs in hand, "Picked yourself some weeds, huh?" he asked. Sigh.
