It's official, folks, Christmas has arrived in full force at our tiny apartment. Instead of the super-size tree we had in Texas, I have put up my parents' first tree, circa 1970. As my mom has informed me, the tree is actually a coffee table tree. BUT our apartment is too small to be graced with a coffee table (plus, we don't drink coffee), so the pitiful thing is sitting on the floor. Needless to say, I'm sure Charlie Brown had a better tree, but I am pretty proud of it even if I did use the same star-on-top from our everything's-bigger-in-Texas tree (hyphens should be used more often). Of course, we are also lacking in a fireplace/hearth, so our stockings hang over a television....I simply pull up a fire image and place our space heater in front; it's basically the same. Merry Christmas!!

| Why yes, I would love to super-size that. |
 |
| After 4 treats we finally captured this.....now for a Maya workout. |
 |
| We never really needed a fire in Texas, so I filled the fireplace with starfish and candles. |

| Did I mention the Xmas music? |
In addition to the Christmas decor, the apartment could be reported as a hazard, for I am almost positive an explosion occurred. With Mary Kay products, crafts for my ugly Christmas sweater, and baking supplies for potluck cookies and brownies everywhere, I can't seem to find a thing (somehow PDub still gets around). I definitely need some elves, or at least minions, to help me clean the place up. Oh well, a messy life is a happy life.

| I've always wanted an ugly Christmas sweater, so I finally sat down this season and made one. Yes, I taught myself how to sew on this baby. |
So here's to tiny Christmas's and messy apartments.....
