Eve of Christmas Eve

It's looking a lot like Christmas today...three days now of fog and ice crystals bejeweling everything outside, and this morning it's snowing lightly...

Neighbor Donna's young spruce is looking woolly...

...The house finches are back wanting food again...

...layers are forming on the gas grill out back...

...Even a once invisible spider web is now visible under the front porch...

...Snow is piling up on the ice crystals, which makes the branches bend under the weight...last year the top of this poplar tree broke off ,but it grew back fast and tall...

...A frosty pattern on the neighbor's chain-link fence...

Inside, the tree has been decorated for awhile now...this Santa ornament belongs to The Huz, from his Mother-in-law years ago...

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care...my aunt knitted this stocking for me when I was a small girl...my three older siblings also have them, each with different patterns...

There's my cheerful little snowmen collection on the buffet, their bright faces seeming to say...

Wishing You All a Love-filled, Merry Christmas!

Tomorrow is Christmas for me and the Huz, as he works at the fire station on Christmas Day...that's ok since I prefer celebrating Christmas Eve! Have a wonderful Christmas everyone, you're the best!
