Greetings of the Season!

If I was really ambitious, I would print this photo and use it as my Christmas card. I think the likelihood of that happening is pretty slim, though, so I thought I'd just use it here. (If I follow through and use this as my Christmas card, and you receive one, will you act surprised? Thanks.)

Speaking of cards...are people not sending them this year? That's what I am thinking. I have to ... or I'll be forced to face the fact that our popularity has hit rock bottom. So far we've received a whopping two (2) cards. I realize it's still kind of early, but that's an all-time low for the second week of December.

'Course, I haven't even addressed my own cards yet, so I have no room to talk. And there's even been a part of my brain telling me that we live in a virtual world and cards are no longer necessary. Why bother when I can send greetings via the blog...or Facebook...or e-mail? But that's not like me at all. I enjoy the whole "card thing": the selecting, the addressing, the signing, the sending...and especially the receiving. So I imagine tonight I'll tell that part of my brain to shut it, that I'm not going to let this tradition die, and I'll get down to business and get my 30 or so cards ready to pop in tomorrow's mail.

Have a great Monday, everyone.

Christmas in the Bath

A little bit of Christmas cheer in our main {and currently only} bathroom.

More Christmas

I have been trying to decide if I am going to participate in one of the many Christmas home tours that will start soon in blogland. Doing the full-on tour seems a bit overwhelming to me right now, probably because my focus has been more on completing the bathroom remodel and not on getting the house picture-ready. I think instead I might share a photo every day or two of something around the house that's fun or cute or creative.

Here's a still life of a little chair that sits in our living room. Love these wee children's skates. The red boxes are from IKEA.
