I wanted a big and busy tree this year. I wasn’t sure when it bought it but once we got it home and decorated I think its one of the best trees we have had in several years. Like how some of the tree lights are reflected in the window

Busy running errands today. On the way back home, I asked my husband to drive by the park to see if we could get any pictures. Love the colors in this one.

This was a gift someone sent to our office. Love all the gold and the red ribbon really sets it off. The best part – it’s full of chocolates. We had so many goodies in the office this week, we didn’t even open this yet.

About 25 people from our office volunteered at the local Salvation Army. This part of our group stuffing Christmas stockings. This Salvation Army took care of 1800 families and 4000 kids. Truly wonderful

Crazy day today. One of my co-workers called me and said come to my office and bring your camera – sun is peeking out of clouds and sky is amazing – it would be a great picture of the day. I grabbed my small camera and when I got to her office I discovered that I needed a new battery pack. Oh no!!! So then I grabbed my IPhone but couldn’t get a really good picture. Stayed at work a little longer than usual tonight and then stopped and got a new battery pack. When I got home I told my husband that I had to get a new battery pack and he said – you know we have an extra one in the drawer. On well – now I have a spare. So had to settle for picture of a tree ornament.

Walked over to the Inner Harbor this morning – the sky was blue and it was warm for a December day. Stopped to take some pictures and liked this one of the reflections because it had some red in it. When I left work this afternoon it had turned windy and colder – that’s weather in Maryland for you. Wait five minutes and it changes. Where is the snow??

What a day! Heard a crash at 4:30 this morning – came downstairs to find our tree had fallen over. Have no idea why. So we picked the tree up, put it back in the stand and then started the clean up. Luckily we only lost about a dozen ornaments. But what a mess – had to get the vacuum cleaner out to clean up the broken piece and then towels to clean up the spilled water. By the time we got done it was about 6 o’clock so got ready for work. When I got to work and was telling my co-workers about the tree falling down, I discovered that three yes three other people had their trees fall down as well. What is going on??? It’s was very foggy today and rained on an off all day. Where is the snow??? Not many photo ops so I had to resort to taking pictures of the tree – guess I should have taken a picture of the tree on its side this morning.

The tree is up and decorated and it’s beautiful. It’s about 7 feet tall and big and bushy – just the way I like it. This is a close up view of one section of the tree – picked this section because of the Peace ornament. The ornaments all have special meaning – some we picked up on vacation, some from when we lived overseas. some were gifts. There is even one ornament that came from Michael’s grandfather

Went to an afternoon matinee of the Moscow Ballet performance of The Nutcracker. This was the third time we have seen it but this performance was amazing. It was the first time we have been to the Hippodrome Theater. It was built in 1914 and rebuilt in 2004. This is some of the amazing architecture.
