Christmas Season Stuff

And now I can concentrate on nesting for the rest of the month.
Here are the things left that I would like to do:

Make pecan cookies.
Decorate the house.
Leave out shoes for St. Nicolas Day, Dec. 5
Make front door wreath and Advent wreath.
Get a live tree (put on the front porch till we're ready to bring it in).
Make Mom's cheese balls.
Finish wrapping gifts.
Sing and listen to Christmas songs.
Mail out gifts to Germany, Vietnam, Colorado and Georgia.
Play the Christmas card game with Brendan.
Celebrate Advent with Konrad and Brendan;
eat Lebkuchen & Spekulatius and drink teas.
Address and mail Christmas cards.
Buy more Christmas cards for those who are left and send out.
Have friends over for mulled wine and desserts.
Decide what soup to make for Christmas day dinner.



We set up our first nativity scene. I have been looking for one for years and I finally found one that we all love. It's made by Habba and it's adorable.



Yum and these are the pecan cookies I want to make. I just need those delish Georgia pecans still!
