Close up of my Negativity Scene. Yes, Negativity Scene. Make note of everyone's expressions.

No ornaments on the tree yet, but it's up and lit.

The kitchen

So .. what’s in the Peanuts container

 

[TallyT]

The early fake snow and cheesy tinkly jungle bell rock covers in all the malls always brings out the Christmas spirit in me...

Yep, that Christmas spirit.

If you've just finished the deco and are exhausted (or in any case), what about a Tottoro coffee? Don't make the dilemma last long: if you don't drink it, it will melt...

So .. what’s in the Peanuts container

@elbkup - at the moment, nothing! It was gifted to me years ago, and it was one of those large tins that hold the three flavors of popcorn, butter, caramel, and cheese.

It looked like one of those containers to me. Love it! And perfect for the occasion.

Beginning of Yule
And we are fortunate that the last Supermoon of the Year - the Super Cold Moon - has graced us this Season
Edmund Spencer, Cantos of Mutability, said it best:

VVhere Cynthia did sit, that neuer still did stand.

Her sitting on an Iuory throne shee found,
Drawne of two steeds, th’one black, the other white,
Environd with tenne thousand starres around,
That duly her attended day and night;
And by her side, there ran her Page, that hight
Vesper, whom we the Euening-starre intend:
That with his Torche, still twinkling like twylight,
Her lightened all the way where she should wend,
And ioy to weary wandring trauailers did lend

My dolls work for their room and board by performing as needed on holidays. This weekend they're practising Christmas carols. The pianist is the size of a 7-year-old and her hands fit nicely on the keyboard.

Even some of the stuffies are warming up their vocal cords.
