Because my digital camera is out of commish, I will paint you a mental picture of the delights that are my living room right now.
1. There is (not kidding) a DVD playing a fire. Yes, that means there is a fire roaring (crackles and all) in our "fireplace" which is the TV. What? We'll take what we can get.
2. There are tiny white lights around the periphery of the room. They are perfect and provide a delicious glow making our living room feel lovely the way snow makes even a junk yard look picturesque.
3. There is a tiny (fake) Christmas tree on top of a table just as you walk in the door. There are two reasons we had to go fake this year. One, our house is a fire waiting to happen and two, it is a huge fire hazard. Read: this house cannot use another excuse to catch flame. Thus, we will place a cute little tree on a table and light a tiny candle that smells like pine. Sure, it probably all evens out, but whatever.
4. There is a santa-penguin shamelessly suction-cupped to the window.
5. There are tiny white lights and a Santa on the porch. Completely awesome.
6. There is a poinsettia on the dining room table.
7. There is a cup of candy canes on the coffee table.
8. There will soon be a Nativity Scene on the entry table.
9. There are fabulous and nostalgic Christmas tunes in the air.
10. It. Is. Christmas.
Side notes:
This weekend was a great one! Dinner with Rachel was outstanding and a wonderful time to catch up on the last 13 years. Jessica's birthday celebrations were a riot- I hope she felt SO loved! Roommate Christmas was ideal. Toss in some rest, a kosher early bird special and even a champagne tasting and you've got my weekend.
Life is good.

The image of the Santa penguin nearly left me breathless with laughter! I'm almost glad your camera is out of "commish," but I would love to see all of this!
