GiST: Starting to look Christmassy around here edition

1. Homemade Chai Nog lattes, made using my own cappuccino maker. (Why has it been sitting in a cupboard for so long?)

2.
3. Why yes, we did decide to put a 6-foot-tall Douglas Fir into the World's Smallest Living Room. I'm way too amused by how much of the living room is taken up by Giant Christmas Tree. Seriously:We're going to have to move the dining room table around so that we can still get around the house freely. And it's glorious.

4. Spending an evening putting strings on Christmas tree ornaments while listening to Handel's Messiah.

5. Such a lovely weekend.
