It’s time for glittering Christmas trees, twinkling lights, velvet garlands, jazzy carrols, snuggly wool sweaters and everything else that makes Christmas season the happiest time of year. From the moment I packed up my mini tree and stowed it in my closet in January, I’ve been itching to dig it out again.

This week I got my chance! Saturday was all about scary faces and haunted places. But when the evening was over I fell asleep with the echo of sleigh bells ringing in my ears. Just as Santa is hard at work in the North Pole, so am I busy Christmasifying my little apartment.
