1 day before Christmas

A little bit of information about this book….I wanted to do a 12 days before Christmas countdown. As I worked on the book, I put numbers out of order so I have corrected that. I also want to add some embellishments which I will post over the next few days. This page is actually the cover. It is the day before Christmas today, but when I hang it next year it will be in the correct order.

Happy Christmas Eve!

First day of winter and 4 more days….

Today is the Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year. I record the sunrise and sunsets for each day and there is a holding pattern where the daylight is about the same for about a week, give or take a minute, then we will start gaining back one to two minutes a day.

We have rain today. Just as well because we got about 2 inches of rain which could have been 20 inches of snow. So we don’t have a white Christmas so far but if you do have snow, have some fun with it!

5 days before Christmas

And the panic is starting to set in for the procrastinators…..here’s day 5.

Also, someone has a birthday today! Our little niblet, Mack, is 8 today! He was trying to see out the front door so he could maintain his “protect the realm” duties. I also added a photo of both sentries on duty.
