Decking the Halls

I love getting out the Christmas decorations.  I am particularly fond of our family stockings made out of recycled wool sweaters, one for each human, dog, and cat in the house.  We think Winnie will be okay with Ruby using her stocking this year.

Ellis utterly loves going through our decorations.  He nearly lost his mind.

Then he got straight to work trimming his bedroom tree.

Unfortunately, the light has been all doom and gloom around here and my tree trimming pictures are less than inspiring.  Here's the best I could do.

Sarah and I also cooked up a batch of Cranberry-Apple Jam last night.  I guess since Christmas is in two weeks, we'd better actually make the homemade gifts we're planning!
