Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, and I get the feeling that each year will only get better from here. I've started doing a little decorating early, and Annabel walks around exclaiming "pretty!" as she looks at all the Christmas lights. Here are just a couple pictures that get me excited about this Christmas:

I have to brag a bit - I made this! I'm very proud....

I love Thanksgiving and all, but bring on Christmas already! :)
