First Christmas in Our New Home

The night before Christmas, we had snacks..
Using new cookie cutters, we made Christmas cookies and decorated them.
Here's the cookies with the traditional Christmas drink (7up, pepermint sticks, slices of orange, lemon, and lime, and a cherry)
Even though Maria protested, we waited until about 2 1/2 weeks before buying a tree, just to truly appreciate th decorations.
After Maria decided not to wear the tree skirt, we brought in the tree and set it up, ready for decoration.
We worked long and hard to decorate our tree. In the absence of a star, we used a Winnie the Pooh ornament.
Not only did I cook in my PJ's, I had Christmas Dinner in them too!
Later that night we visited friends, Tom and Ruth Anan. Lo and behold, they had mistletoe!
From both of us, to all of you, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
