My Advent Calendar

December 15th 



A small ceramic Christmas tree, purchased in the 80s or 90s at a church holiday bazaar.  The granddaughters like to rearrange the lights.

Just updated my Books Read 2025 listing.  I'm up to 84 books this year.  I still have three weeks of reading left so will beat last year's count of 85 for sure.
If you look at the list you'll see a lot by Archer Mayor.  He's a mystery writer based in Brattleboro Vermont.  I really enjoy he's writing and though I imagine you can start reading any of them I'm reading in order. The first one is Open Season if you want to look for them in your library.

How can the lights be rearranged on your little ceramic tree? No wires?

84 books is a lot. I don’t read as much as I used to. Have 2 books I’m working on now, but not really into either one. Enjoy your day! Cali

I remember when those ceramic trees were all the rage. Everyone seemed to have one.

Thanks for explaining the light source (bulb inside) over in my blog comments!
