Merry Christmas!

I hope you all had a lovely and restful Christmas day!  It rained all day and it was so nice to stay inside with a warm fire. 

Santa left me a special surprise in my stocking  - raw cream!  Anyone that knows me, knows that I am crazy about cream!  I made some delicious eggnog which we enjoyed by candlelight, next to the twinkling lights of the tree.  Mmmmm...fresh eggnog is my favorite Christmas treat! 

We cut down a sucker redwood tree from our neighbor's yard this year and we could not tell how lopsided it was until we removed it from the giant trunk of the mother tree.  I love the droopy, sparse branches and unusual shape. I decorated the tree with birds, sparkly fruit, icicles and shimmery ribbon.  It was a bit of a challenge to decorate, but it is still beautiful in its own unique way!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.
