'Tis The Season

The kids are in the family room watching The Last Airbender with their friends. I'm sitting in the living room with a glass of wine while I admire my new poinsettia. I was able to put up a few decorations outside today before the chill from the wind set in. As I glance out the window, I can see the lovely glow from the lights twinkling outside in the background.


I still need to buy some inserts for the planters outside -- hopefully I can find something tomorrow.

The poinsettia was only $19.99 at Costco for a huge plant! I'm thinking of going back to grab one more for the family room. I love that they add a little shake of sparkle to dress the plant up a bit.


Even though it's chilly outside, there's something about the glow from the Christmas lights and the sparkling holiday decorations that make me feel all warm inside.

Have you started to decorate for the holidays?
