listening to my favorite Christmas song: O Come O Come Emmanuel (Chasing Furies version). it has such a beautiful ethereality about it. and the longing and desperation it conveys! how badly we needed a Savior, and at just the right time, God brought him. presents schmesents. He is what i want.
tomorrow is my…gasp…birthday! no really big plans, but i was able to get the day off from both jobs. it will be nice.
got the down comforter with the flannel duvet out of the linen closet tonight. just in time for the 50 degree weather. go figure.
and now some Christmas photograph cheer:

i got this tin at a garage sale a couple years ago for free. i love the vintage scene and the colors. it makes me happy.
