Happy Holidays

Just a quick post to say Happy Holidays to all! It's very nearly Christmas and my house is definitely all bedecked in Christmas cheer. In true southern California style, the weather is decidedly not Christmasy, with an expected high of 74 degrees on the day itself. But still, there is snow in the mountains and it's rather nice to be able to take long, sunny hikes in the end of December (which I did just the other day, with no coat).

So to wish everyone a little holiday cheer here are some pictures from mi casa.

The stockings were hung on the mantle with care...

So many Christmas cookies!

My mom's Santa(s).

And finally our Christmas tree!

And now I'm off to bake some peanut butter triple chocolate cookies. So good.
