Hyvää Joulua

I can't remember the last time I put up a Christmas tree. I've had these boxes of old glass ornaments and an oddball assortment of others that I've moved around with me for ages. One year I bought a cast iron tree stand from L.L. Bean and another year I bought a nice red velvet tree skirt. I nearly gave the whole collection to Goodwill before we moved this time last year but I couldn't part with it not having yet put it all together on a tree even once.

Well, after the snowstorm and walking past a full lot of fresh trees for a few days, Jarkko and I succumbed, bought a tree and decorated it last night. There's nothing quite so crazy, and possibly romantic, as carrying a tree home and decorating it for no apparent reason other than getting into the holiday spirit. Honeybear is glaring at it wondering it whether he can eat it, sleep on it or pee on it and, if he can do none of these, what is it doing in his house...:)

Happy Holidays everyone :)
