And last but not least. I couldn't resist these otters.
It is drizzling rain and my quest to get ready for Christmas continues today along with the rest of the world. See you later.

Santa Claus was there to collect the Gift of the white fur slippers (Ikea) and to fill the red felt embroidered slippers (Voss Mountain). He has brought the family apples, nuts, pastries and marzipan. This 80 cm long cloth reindeer is at the front door and bravely keeps out drafts -- from (Gerda Hüsch). via 19 Great DIY Decorating Ideas for Advent with a Red and White Scandinavian Flair You'll have to ask Google to translate from German to your native language. My favorite thing is the reindeer draft dodger for the door. What a great idea...decorative and useful. My plain ones are all in place and they make such a big difference when it's cold outside as it is now. I just walked the two beasts and the ground is frozen solid. I'm steaming their sweet potato right now. See you later. xo

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the Christmas tree lot late in December to find nothing but trees like this! via

I really like this rustic farm table all decked out for Christmas dinner. I love the brown and white transferware plates with the big cloth napkins. The napkin rings made from upholstery webbing are topped with a candy cane. The topiaries, greens and candles in the center of the table are perfect. via

Have you decorated your door yet? I have not. I was so happy that my energy level stayed high today after my illness. I missed being productive. This arrangement of holiday greenery is lovely. via
