Okay now we’re REALLY getting into the spirit of Christmas. Today we went back to Bush House to check on the decorating handiwork of last week and it was looking lovely. Today’s open house was crowded and fun with music and even Santa Claus (though I wonder what Mr. Bush and daughter Sally would have made of the whole town traipsing through their parlors…)
and this Victorian lady in front of the tree:
Santa and Ms. Claus were in the library
and Santa chatted with Milo Bucci and Dave Rigsby and his boys
Then we put a few more ornaments on my Mom’s little tree
and EXHAUSTED by sheer cheer, headed to the Bean for a coffee
Phew. And there’s still two weeks left!!?!
On The Way 
You are really in the swing of the season! We are waiting for our elves to put up some decorations. Or, as Bru said, make an addition to the little house.
