O Christmas Tree

I decided to get a proper Christmas tree this year, and I think it’s the best decision I could have made.

It’s already given me so much happiness. I love the lights at night.

I don’t have any decorations for it yet—I’ll have to add some later. But the lights are pretty magical as it is.

I put the tree in the big front window for the benefit of people passing by on my street. I wanted to take a photo of how the tree looks from outside the house, but since it’s raining right now that will have to wait for a bit. So instead, here are some pictures of Archie:

What I really can’t wait for is for the snow to return. This was our first snow this year:

I think winter may be my favorite season.
