December Again!

This is such a favorite time of year - the pine scents wafting through the house, the sparkly decorations, hot chocolate on a daily basis, frost on the red berries outside. It's so lovely!

It would seem that St Andrews knew that today was the first of December. November had its chilly days and sometimes I didn't dress warmly enough but there were still plenty of nice, sunny moments with a warm breeze playing in my hair. Not today! I didn't venture out of the house until 11am but frost was everywhere, gorgeously glistening. The pond in our neighborhood had little patches of ice and the ducks were nowhere to be seen. I was bundled in my supremely wonderful green, wool sweater, a chunky brown scarf and my super cute burnt-red jacket but I was still just a little chilly. That may have had something to do with the fact that I was wearing a mini skirt and leggings but such things happen on laundry day. I tried to make up for it with thick socks and my fuzzy boots. :) It worked. Style happened.

I think we can legitimately move to Christmas now too, as we had our wonderful Thanksgiving last week. Time to break out the Christmas music!
