Christmastime in Old Town

A few shiny windows in Alexandria and a beautiful red door adorned with a pretty wreath.
I’m having my wreath delivered tonight by the local Boy Scouts’ troop leader. I love that the Boy Scouts still operate on an honor system- well, of course they do- Scouts Honor. I ordered it at the farmer’s market in October without payment and they deliver it to your door when it arrives- gotta love it.
It seems owls are all the rage this year. Who knew owls had it over their fellow woodland friends? I love this pretty window display at our local Paper Source. Our little girl hoots like an owl, so we have taken to calling her mon hibou since she was 2 months old. With the current owl-craze, it’s been fun (and easy) dressing her up in all kinds of cute, owly things.

This giant Nutcracker holds court year round at The Christmas Attic– that requisite stop for folks looking for an ornament keepsake to document their time spent here. I love doing that too, makes decorating the tree each year a trip through your travels.

Well, I am certainly in the holiday spirit. I’m listening to Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams and Dean Martin croon those classic Christmas tunes as I post this little walk through my town. Between the local decor, Deano’s rendition of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and all the Rankin-Bass specials that flood the Christmas Countdown channels, I’m one happy lass.

Happy Weekend!
