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!
