On my iTunes: The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky

Cooling on the stovetop and filling the house with a wonderful spicy aroma: the molasses base for Margaret Reister's Lebkuchen dough

Upstairs in bed: two little girls taking naps at the same time.

On my wall: three stockings



In my sewing bag: one stocking that needs to be finished before Christmas!

Hidden in my bedroom: Almost all of the Christmas presents I plan to buy.

Days till Christmas: 30

I may not have started early, but now that the Christmas season is here I am merrily enjoying the spirit.
