The approach of real "Christmas weather" means it's time for:

- Scarves. Lots and lots of scarves.
- Boots.
- Soft and cuddly fleece jackets.
- Crackling fires.
- Early Christmas shopping.
- Blankets for doing homework.
- Space heaters at the office.
- Hot chocolate.
- The occasionally-played Christmas music, to become much more frequent after Thanksgiving! =]

And best of all? The countdown to a beloved brother and sister-in-law's visit. YAY!

God is gracious. May He smile down upon you today.
