Holiday Botanical Bedroom

Wouldn't this be the perfect bedroom to sleep in tonight? I love the Holiday Botanical bedding.

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!

God Bless Us Every One

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.

Architecture + Christmas Lights = Beautiful

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.

Christmas Eve Morning Breakfast

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.

Merry Christmas from A Little Bird
