I purchased these retro bottle brush trees a couple weeks before Thanksgiving and they have been living on my dresser, bringing Christmas magic to my dreams.  

This afternoon I met my mother and step-father at Wal-Mart to do some shopping.  Nothing special.  However, Mom needed 'Santa' wrapping paper.  It dawned on me then that I will need to have 'Santa' paper.  Each day I am reminded that my life IS going to change.  And I have so much to learn!
