My Advent Calendar

December 8th



One of my ten Father Christmas statues.  This one I purchased from a Christmas shop in France while we were on a river cruise on the Rhine one spring. 


It sits in one of the windows with this one whose provenance I don't remember. It may have been a thrift shop find.


You can see our snow is sticking around.  Temperatures are staying below freezing here.

My goal for today is to complete the Christmas cards and deliver them to the post office. Envelopes are addressed, cards are made except for an insert which I need to paste in each one.

****
If you're interested in reading more about that cruise start with this post and move forward in time.

These are very nice Santas, and different than those I usually see!
