We went to Christmas at Lithia this afternoon and had quite an enjoyable time. This has been the first time we've gone that it's actually been cool enough that you felt like being Christmasy. There were some really nice crafts--even if I don't have kids' clothes to buy I always admire the sewing, and also the quilting. There were many things there so pretty that we didn't have anything in the house to do justice to it, like the big beautiful Christmas wreaths; they were too big for our little front door!
I did buy two small things: a small white Christmas ball that had been painted with a snowman face and was sporting wire-and-puffball "earmuffs" and a small patchwork heart ornament that I plan to send to my mom. We also bought more things from "the cow lady," which is the name we've given to a woman who does ceramic things for the kitchen with various motifs, including the cartoon cows we've fallen in love with. We got a toothpick holder (James says it's a sugar packet holder), a wipable message tile, and a napkin holder all emblazoned with these cute cows.
BTW, we had two Granny-Smith-apples-and-caramel this year. We ought to buy the Pampered Chef apple corer/peeler/slicer. It's so easy I'm sure we'd eat more apples; and making apple pie would be a cinch!
