For our office Christmas potluck, my co-worker brought these adorable reindeer pops made by her friend Ilian. They were too cute to eat, but we did anyway!

I've been known to keep mistletoe hanging until the Fourth of July (you never know when you'll fancy a quick smooch) and I once kept a small pumpkin from Halloween until the following Labor Day (it only got mushy toward the end). We meant to carve this big fella into a Jack O'Lantern, but haven't quite gotten around to it. It was okay for Thanksgiving, in keeping with the harvest theme, but now he has got to go. He's taking up valuable real estate in our small living room. Still, I don't have the heart to discard him. Maybe he'll look nice under the Christmas tree?

Went for a lovely Italian meal last night to celebrate my birthday. Had a wonderful time with family and friends. And my darling husband gave me a fantastic gift to celebrate this milestone birthday - the dvd boxed set of the BBC comedy classic "One Foot in the Grave". What he lacks in romance he more than makes up for in humor :)
(and irony)
