The stockings are hung. On the chimney. With care!
24 December 2009
Low key 'day before Christmas' here in (truly) White Bear Lake! The Cottage is closed for the day and hopefully no last minute people are beating on the door. Christmas morning's breakfast is ready to slide in the oven. Ted's up at Cub Foods helping last minute grocery shoppers. The rest of us are headed to the mall ... just for fun. If I can tear myself away from all the holiday decorating shows that is!!
No one seems to know where Ted's stocking tag is so he gets last year's ornament instead.
We've turned our kitchen tree into a photo gallery this year ... tucking all the photo cards we've received between the branches.
Big, fluffy flakes are falling outside ... they're coming straight down because there's no wind. Last night, the small flakes were falling fast and furious giving us about 6" of snow to wake up to this morning. More coming later in the day ... and then through the night ... and then on Christmas ... all the way to Sunday! Who exactly was wishing for a white Christmas??? That's ok ... it's really pretty ... just like a Christmas card.
In the rush of preparations today, I hope you get a minute to stop and enjoy the commotion and activity. Merry Christmas from our home in really really White Bear Lake!
