O Christmas Tree
We always get our little Christmas tree the Sunday after we get back from our trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving. We no longer need to head to a Christmas tree farm, we just cut a tree from one of the many on our property.
This year it’s the best one yet, tall enough to reach the ceiling, skinny enough to not take up the entire living room, and full enough to look nice.
I added the usual decorations of a few cut glass bulbs, glass teardrops, and two strands of C7 lights on a dimmer switch similar to this one, it’s perfection in my book!
Do you have a tree in your home? Is it a real tree?

2016 Calendar
After a few people reminded me, I finally got the 2016 Chiot’s Run Calendar on Lulu. Here are a few of the photos that grace the months this year:
If you’re interested in supporting the blog, head on over an buy a calendar for yourself or for a gift. I get a few dollars from the sale of each calendar to help cover blog expenses.

Cookies!!!
Every year, when I come back to Ohio to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, we make cookies with the nieces & nephew. This year was no exception. Yesterday, we made a few and we’ll be making more today.
I don’t make Christmas cookies at home, with only two of us they don’t get eaten up before we get sick of them. It’s great to make them with the kids, we make bunches, give them to neighbors and eat them with abandon. By the time we leave, I’ve had my fill of cookies. Gingerbread men are my favorite, this is my recipe if you’d like to give it a try. There’s a reason I don’t make these at home, I simply can’t quite eating them.
What’s your favorite cookie during the holiday season?
