Tis the Season

Something about the Christmas season is magical.  I don't know what it is, but I like it.  It has been pretty warm the past couple weeks, so it hasn't really felt like it's Christmas time.  But somehow there's still some Christmas magic in the air.  This year, Miranda and I are determined to do something Christmas-y every day.  You just can't be too festive! 

Here are a few of the festivities that have made the list (and have been checked off) so far:
Choose a beautiful Christmas tree.
Decorate and name our Christmas tree  - This year, she is named Belle and is as beautiful as she sounds.
Make swags out of extra tree branches 
Put up lights on Chez MK (the affectionate nickname for our house)  Aside:  We actually get some of our wonderful friends to help out with this one.
Bake gingerbread cookies
Decorate at our offices
Line a fireplace with stockings for our friends
Attend the annual Lynchburg Christmas Parade


...and there are still 19 days till Christmas!
