Where's Santa?

Can you see Santa in the snow? His schedule must be more free now......

Advent wreath

And finally all four candles were lit as we celebrated Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

The sanctuary was beautifully decorated for the Christmas Eve worship service. Merry Christmas!

Glowing decorations

As I drove down a street, these characters quietly caught my attention.....

Grinches

Big Grinch and little Grinch were causing Christmas trouble in Cathy Patterson Miller's neighborhood. She photographed them to show the authorities.....

A Swedish Fika

The table was set for guests for a Christmas "fika," the Swedish tradition to share an afternoon coffee and treats with friends and family.

Inflatables

After Tuesday's 8 inches of snow, Jeffrey B. Larson happily photographed his yard Christmas inflatables.... they survived the blizzard!

Christmas lights

Driving through a nearby neighborhood, I spotted these Christmas yard ornaments.

My Scandinavian tree

On Sunday evening, I put up and decorated my little Nordic tree with mostly wooden, handmade decorations.

Lovely at Lost Spur

This Christmas tree greets guests who enter the Lost Spur Golf Club banquet hall.

A festive time

They set a holiday vibe before you even walk through their front door over at Doolittle's Restaurant.

Got Christmas greenery?

Kowalski's Market grocery store is selling Christmas greens now. Do you want to decorate your front doorstep....

Merry Christmas!

 

From my house to yours, I wish you a very "Merry Christmas!" 

Pop ups

 

They sure have the fun Christmas spirit in their front yard! Hi Santas! 

Smiling Santa

 

Santa Claus wears a mask as a Cub Foods grocery store employee but he smiles with his eyes.

Merry Christmas, Walter! 

3rd Sunday in Advent

As we prepare for Christmas, some people light a weekly candle on their Advent wreath. Mine was handmade in Siberia, Russia by a small, family owned business. 

When will Santa come?

 We are all anxious for Santa to arrive.  What gifts will you request? 

Beware the Grinch

 

Decorated for Christmas with snow people, lights and a Christmas tree.

Christmas characters

 

Sorry for a mediocre quality photo...... it was taken at 6:30 am.  Santa and his friends. 

It's beginning.....

 ..... to look a lot like Christmas at Kowalskis grocery store!
