tis the season

Last night, I was on my way to dinner with my dear friend Nyberg, when I demanded she pull over so I could jump out and take photos of my favorite Christmas Tree stand in the dark. And because she's an angel, she didn't hesitate one bit.This is such a fabulous fixture in my neighborhood, and it brings me joy every single year. But it is *especially* wonderful when there is a fresh dusting of snow on the branches.The stand is run by the Forestry department, and it has been here for 40 years. Charming doesn't even begin to describe its beauty.And for your internet shares of the day:+ Great work, Time. Have you heard about their person of the year? So, I guess Trump was lying. Again.+ This quote is my mantra.+ And in "Damn, this girl has great taste but not the budget to match" news, I have found the perfect holiday wreath to fit my native-Kansan self. And I want to bring in the new year toasting with these amazing glasses that are far too spendy. Let the estate sale hunt for something similar begin!
