Christmas Decorations

Image
 I got to enjoy fresh pomegranate yesterday. I'll probably have some more today. I also found these cuties hanging up when I woke up this morning. I need to get the camera out and take some proper pictures. I've already watched Elf (probably watch it a few more times) and Polar Express, which always has me tearing up at the end. Next on the Christmas movie list Love Actually. Gotta go grab some coffee!   xo Alicia
