Already Christmas



I woke this morning thinking Gingerbread and Sugar Plums. The words, nothing more. The morning was gray. Now it is raining. Christmas Day.


Christmas Eve went by more quickly than it should. I was rushed, it seemed to me. But presents wrapped, I stopped on the Avenue for that quick drink with friends



Then to my mother's house to drink the champagne and eat the brie while grilling the wild salmon.



Gifts opened, I drove home, stopping on the little Avenue by my home. Almost silent, one restaurant was still serving drinks. A few couples here and there. Silent.



Home. Midnight. It was time for bed. Already Christmas.

    Happy Christmas, C.S.

    The chairs look like fishnet stockings and the Colony like it belongs in a Hopper painting.

    Hope your day was good, mine was, just a bit surreal but I'm getting used to that feeling.

    Love the chairs! :)
