Christmas time is here

Emily is enjoying the Christmas lights. She is a good girl! Not like another feline (ahem, Willow) who has already knocked over my sad little Christmas tree.

Many of the homes near my apartment building have decorated for Christmas. A little sparkle is a welcome sight when it is dark and drab. So far, we haven't had a lot of snow. Any snow we did get has melted quickly.

I will have Christmas week off. Then I'm back to work for a couple of days and have an extra, extra long weekend. It has been so busy at my end that I haven't had time to do my usual "fun" stuff to celebrate the holidays. I know it is pricey but I would very much like to order another of these fancy pants hot chocolates :)

We did have a bit of freezing drizzle earlier this month. I would rather walk in a snow storm than freezing rain. The freezing rain can look pretty, though! I spent the afternoon cleaning and wrapping some presents. I will be meeting with family and a friend on my time off. I'm also hoping to take my camera out to the park for some photos. Quiet walks in the park are soul soothing.

I will close for now. If you celebrate Christmas, I hope that you have a beautiful season. This last photo is of Willow. Surely this innocent looking feline can't be responsible for a Christmas tree upset ;) Take care all and Happy Christmas!
