Getting an Early Start

In a year that has been less than happy, hopefully,  Christmas is going to be a saving grace.

Little by little, some of the fall decor has been scooped up and put away, and bits and pieces of Christmas decor have come down from the attic.

A hand-carved Guatemalan hutch in a corner of the dining room holds the major part of a Santa collection.

It was joyous to once again put out the familiar Santa Claus figures. 

 Some of them have the year they were acquired written on the bottoms.

Now, we have a rather dapper cat named Martin who is staying with us for awhile.

Would you believe that he almost lived up to the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat?"

He took a flying leap to the top of the hutch after I filled it and almost knocked over several Santas.

That was a moment of great restraint and Susie was not a happy camper.
