25 Days of Christmas-Day 20 The flowers

I finally finished my third flower. Now I just need to figure out where to hang them

25 Days of Christmas- Day 19 The Alien in the Onion

When I cut open my onion to chop it for my sauce, I found this little alien face. When I looked closer, there was tiny one inside as well. Ok, so I have an active imagination.

25 Days of Christmas-Day 18 Sunday Meatballs

I think I'll start a new tradition; fresh meatballs on the Sunday after South Philly.

25 Days of Christmas- Day 17 Eggnog Latte

We went down to South Philly to grab supplies for Christmas eve and I treated myself to this yummy eggnog latte. There was probably enough calories in it for the rest of the week.

25 Days of Christmas Day 16- 15 years

I have been with my company for 15 years as of today. Apparently it doesn't matter...

My favorite pizza-pepperoni and long hot peppers! My posts for this week have been delayed because my photo upload program is broken and I had to email them to myself.

25 Days of Christmas- Day 13 The Tree

I love seeing how the sitting room tree is decorated every year at the Angel. This year was lots of red and gold and glitter.

25 Days of Christmas-Day 12 White Lights

Two of our favorite places at Christmas time; the Angel and Peter Shields

25 Days of Christmas- Day 11 The Perfect view

I would love to be able to stay here for a week or more and set up my easel here.

25 Days of Christmas- Day 10 The Firebird Festival

Once again we got to the festival late, but we still got to see most of the Phoenix burn. It's a very good cleansing ritual for the town and the soul. This is what it looked like before it burned.

25 Days of Christmas- Day 9 My present to myself

As I am sure you can tell from some of my recent images, my digital camera is on its last legs. There is a purpleish hue in most of the images. So I heard that the 4S was one of the best point and shoot cameras on the market. Nice excuse, huh :)

And it plays the theme song :)

25 Days of Christmas- Day 3 Our tree

I think I am going to need to buy more lights. The tree has definately out grown these 4 strands

25 Days of Christmas- Day 2 The Christmas Parade

I love our tacky little Christmas parade. Lots of decorated fire trucks and really bad costumes. I wouldn't want to change a thing.

25 Days of Christmas-Day 1
