Christmas - T minus 1 week.

I'm struggling to believe that Christmas is only a week away.  I knew it was coming...but as usual it seems to rush forward.   It's almost a given with everyone that early December is a crazy mad dash of holiday programs, holiday baking, family Christmas, possible travel and of course the regular ol' work or school. 

  I'm kinda half ready and half not ready for Christmas.  I've gotten 1/4 of my baking gifts completed, and still plenty to get done.  I have a few gifts, but I still have lots to purchase.  I've completed all holiday music programs (band and bells).  With just a week to go...I have the rest of my baking to complete, plenty of gifts to get and a few days left of work before family Christmas.  Oh I do have all Christmas Cards to complete, I'm not even sure how many I'm going to do, just don't feel into the cards this year. 

Some photos of the house at Christmas.  I love decorating for Christmas!

My Christmas Mantle.  Some of my favorite things. 

The Tree.  I love all of my ornaments and decorations, always a joy to decorate.
