What can you see in a picture?

Our home at Christmas.

What can you learn about me from the picture?

• See all of the bags under the tree? We didn't wrap presents until after the 11:00pm Christmas Eve service. This year, we discovered the wonder of bags. And, they are environmentally friendly, right? We'll use them again next year.
• We love candles. See them in the fireplace? We just forgot the light them!
• Ceiling fan -- it's not running, but that's only because that one squeaks. I love ceiling fans. We use the one in our bedroom all year long.
• Poinsettia? Yes, there is one -- actually, one of three. After Christmas, out they go. I'm surprised that they are still alive. Notice that they are the only live plants in the room. I don't do well with greenery. It's one of the reasons that the tree is artificial. I can't keep one of them alive, either.
• The tree is covered with very traditional ornaments -- no theme at all -- just ornaments that we have collected throughout the years together, as well as ones from our families.
• You can tell a Sandpiper lives in this house -- there is one in the picture. See it?

Merry Christmas to all!
