It's hard to believe that next Tuesday is Christmas! The house is decorated - lights on the railings outside and on two smallish "Christmas Trees" at the steps to the front door. It really looks nice. Inside we have a small tree on a table in the lower level. Since Honey came, large trees on the floor don't seem like a good option. So, the main level is minimal decorations. There is a ceramic tree in the loft - one that was made for me by a co-worker who owned a ceramic shop. The two angels that another friend made are on the mantel in the bedroom (along with our Christmas stockings). It really does look festive but minimal. Works for us!
Monday we took a trip to Target in search of a door mat. It's been rainy and warmish (above freezing) and so it's very muddy. Our last door mat vanished around the time we had the deck painted - we probably threw it out due to age and condition. Target had some on sale so off we went. We found a very nice one with three large ornaments on it. We also found a non-holiday one that says Welcome that we also purchased. Picked up one or two other things. Yesterday we went to two places for kielbasa. There had been an article in the Scranton paper about these two so we figured we would get a ring from each place. Tonight is the tasting - perhaps we will just try one tonight and the other another night. I'm planning on making nut roll. B's mom made the best nut roll for the holidays. I found a recipe on line that sounds similar so that's on today's schedule.
This morning, when we headed out around 7:15, the windshield of the car needed to be scraped. The past several days, while rainy, were warm enough that that was not a concern. At least today is sunny. The chance of snow over the weekend is in the forecast. We will be happy if that doesn't happen.
Next up - Honey is indicating she needs to take a walk!
