It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Two years ago I was so busy I thought I might have to postpone Christmas (in fact we didn't even get a tree until December 23rd) and last year I was sick for an entire week leading up to Christmas.  I was resolved to not let that happen again this year, and for most of December I did a good job.

We were able to walk down to Ricky's Flower Market for the annual "pick out a tree and walk home with it" holiday outing.  We found a perfect tree and this lovely "Husky" wreath!

Then a few days later, we headed into Boston to watch The Nutcracker.  I love going to the ballet, especially The Nutcracker.  I love how the Opera House is so beautifully decorated, the costumes, sets, and ballet bubbles!

On our way home we took note of some of the new bars that had opened up in Downtown Crossing, making a mental note for vacation!
