Christmas Eve

Solstice was on Saturday, which means two things around here. The first is that the days will begin getting longer from here on out (yay). The second is that Winter has finally begun, so you’d never know the days are getting longer because it’s so overcast. Longest darkest day of the year suddenly makes sense of all the lights, doesn’t it?

The countdown continues

As is I guess standard for this time of year, things are hectic.

The little doors on the Advent calendar are being opened one by one.

with Sangria.

Over the weekend I put up our tree. With a little help from Himself,

it was decorated.

I thought this the perfect accompaniment.

There’s a gold ghoti somewhere … oh yes. Near the Electric Bass.

After all that excitement, and in an effort to escape the unseasonable weather, it was time for a bit of a snuggle for some warmth!
