Christmas ... over too soon

We had a wonderful Christmas here at our house ... lots of gifts and food and noise and confusion. And as usually, the week was over too soon. The memories will remain....








It took four adults and one child to craft a not-so-great-looking gingerbread house ... we're blaming it on the bad glue ...






Saying goodbye ...

Christmas in Santa Fe

Last August, John bought me the book, Christmas in Santa Fe, by Susan Weber, at a silent auction here in Eldorado.

The author owns Susan's Christmas Shop just off the Plaza in Santa Fe, which is one of my favorite Santa Fe gift shops, mainly because Susan herself is so nice and carries such unusual and reasonably-priced Santa Fe gifts. I love to browse around in the tiny shop looking for just the perfect ornament or gift.

Her new book is just as festive as her shop - a beautiful picture of Santa Fe at Christmas, the history, the traditions, and the customs unique to our city. The book is full of gorgeous photography which will put you into the Christmas spirit.

Santa Fe is a special Christmas town, and this is a wonderful book. I recommend it.
