In Which I Catch Up to Present Day

Continuing on with our December daily decoration, and daily Christmas books:

Yesterday the snow globes came out.

You would think that Frosty himself had come to life in my foyer; Cassidy could not have been more excited.

And today I was pleased as punch to bring out- ta-da! – fabric napkins embroidered with the names and portraits of Santa’s reindeer. I found these at Goodwill for a dollar!

I especially like how Blitzen- I don’t think you can see the detail, sorry about the photo, it’s dark in here today- is drinking a martini, signifying that he is blitzed.

Yesterday’s book was I Spy Little Christmas ,

a nice, easy seek-and-find board book with pretty photos of vintagey Christmases.

Cassidy has definitely outgrown the level of difficulty on this one so I will be passing it on.

Today’s book is the much more challenging I Spy Christmas: A Book of Picture Riddles:

The Where’s Waldo of Christmas titles, this is the sort of book where one family member will open it up to glance through it, get stuck trying to find one of the items, ask another family member to help, and next thing you know there’s five people in each other’s laps trying to find the golden goose or whatever.

It will take us easily until Christmas to satisfactorily finish this book.

It also serves as an excellent time-consuming diversion if you are waiting in line at the post office!

Yay, I am caught up. How sad is it that I was already behind on the 4th of December?
