The Beginning of the Holidays

Well, the holidays have swung around again.  Honestly, they snuck up on me this year.  I could have marked Thanksgiving as my official start day, but Andy and I have started taking the day before off, just to have some us-time before all of our family and friend obligations during the holiday season.  Even before that, though, is of course the Festival of Trees.  I have a few of my favorites below.  Enjoy!

And, yes, it is that skirt
