Lighting It Up

 

Every year I say I'm going to buy those tiny fairy lights and put them on things that need lighting up and never do. This year I did it. 

My Advent sweaters looked great in the daylight but at night they can't be seen. Not anymore. 

Something else new is this Advent candle holder. We picked up pine cones on a walk to fill the tray and I'll add some holly when it gets closer to Christmas. 

I bought this electric Swedish Christmas candelabra a few years ago and it keeps me company in the kitchen window. We also string one lone strand of lights back and forth outside across the top of the kitchen window so I've got something to look at while I'm doing the piles of dishes I get from holiday cooking. 

I've given up lighting up the front exterior since no one but the Amazon people see it anymore. I do put lights in my front window for my benefit. 

We have more people that can see us out back on the hill so we usually light up the deck. We took the lights I used to put in the front window and strung them along the regular lights but they just stopped working. I'm sending The Mister to the hardware store tomorrow to see if he can find me something else. I'm in the mood for multi colored lights this year so I hope they still have a string or two left.
