O Christmas bike, O Christmas bike...

Since Tony Soprano (my bike, duh) moved in, I've had less space for other things in my 460 square foot apartment.  Like, for instance, my 4 foot Christmas tree.  I put up my Swedish welcome lights, my nesting Santas from Prague, the sock snowman I made in high school with the 3rd grade class I TAed for, and hung my stocking from my dresser with care.  And then this happened:

Wishing you a very special(ized) Christmas

I wanted the old school big bulb lights (you know, with the opaque red/orange/white/green/blue bulbs... I LOVE those) but Target only carries newfangled LED lights.  I think these are still lovely though.  And please note my tree skirt and gifts placed lovingly below.

I've got my decor up (albeit a bit limited since Tony moved in), received my 1st Christmas card (shout-out to the Harsilas!), am seeing the Nutcracker ballet this weekend, went to my 1st holiday party of the year on Saturday, and am excited for all of the season's festivities!

Merry Christmas from Teddi, Amy-lia, and Estefani

Feliz Navidad, amigos!
