Now there are pictures.

You can see my Christmas tree and all my other decorations (messy house judiciously edited out) in this Flickr set. I posted them on Flickr instead of my LJ scrapbook so I could add notes to the photos. I got my cards done today. Wish I could say they were in the mail, but the […]

PS: O Tannenbaum

The tree is finally decorated, and looks… pretty much like the first (big) tree of a couple who hasn’t yet had time to collect a lot of meaningful ornaments. And who has cats and so are afraid to hang anything too low and within easy reach of little paws. There will be pictures, early next […]

It’s gotten to the point that I’ve given up wearing makeup, except for […]

Getting my Christmas Spirit on
