Enjoying my wireless access in front of the fire. It's nice to be untethered. Thick wool socks and flannel-lined jeans complete this picture of contentment.
The blizzard has begun and I don't even care. I'm as snug as a bug in a rug. Here's hoping you are too. Be careful if you have to be out in it.

I still have a few presents to wrap and some dishes to make ahead of time for tomorrow. I can't wait until I can jump in bed and cover my head to wait for Christmas morning. Goodnight all. Merry Christmas!

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, 1843. Illustration by Jessie Wilcox Smith. I made this illustrated quote last year and I still love it.
I have already set my DVR to record BBC America's Christmas Special Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol I'm a big fan of time travel and Dr. Who The Doctor. I know this broadcast on Christmas Night 12/25 at 9pm will be wonderful. "Time Can Be Rewritten, People Can't." You can watch a trailer if you click on the link.

I've never seen a more beautiful photograph of an architectural masterpiece outlined with Christmas lights. via I'm a total failure in this department. Mine are in a big wad in a bag in the closet.

This hearty breakfast should take me through until lunch. Bottom layer is half a banana sliced, topped with steel cut oats cooked with black raisins, topped with whole milk European style yogurt from Trader Joe's, topped with pomegranate seeds. It was delicious. My mother loved hers too. See you later.

I took this photo last year of a little house wren peeking from one of my bird boxes. I added the Christmas overlay to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas.

This spot looks beautiful any time of day, doesn't it? I've never been to Sweden but I enjoy armchair travels there. I'm pretty refreshed and feeling powerful today since I slept the clock around last night. See you later.

I love wonderful illustrations of vintage Christmases. These children are reaching and/or waiting their turn to pick a present from the tree ~ circa 1924. Scanned from my book A Christmas Blessing.
