This year, my family came to town to celebrate Christmas with us. We started in early December to get the house all spirited up. As always - I probably went just a bit overboard, but I thought it looked nice.

Wally seems to show up in all my pictures. This is not staged- he's just a little ham.
the tree with its mini-skirt from last year
snow flakes and berries over the doorway
twinkliness on the mantel
the fireplace with 7 borrowed stockings, some branches and the twinkliness
one of the new pillows in the fireplace room
a gingerbread house that was made entirely by my family, of which I had no part.
my standard candles and ornaments centerpiece
a new runner I made out of fabric scraps, with a candle floating on cranberries
more of the dining room
live garland wrapped up the staircase
Because I like to document things, it occurred to me on Christmas morning that I should make a short video of the holiday. It's a shame I didn't start earlier, because we did a few cool things in the two days before Christmas that they were all in town. But here's what I've got - my second attempt at a video showing Christmas Day, and the two days after it that we shared with some of my family. Enjoy.
