That Christmas Smell

It's finally here. For awhile it was here. But only because of a clearance candle from Home Goods that gave the house 'that Christmas smell.'

Yesterday, after Emma, Sara and I had lunch at Porto's with Auntie Alex and Uncle Bob, we took a trip around the valley looking for an acceptable Christmas tree.

Four Christmas tree farms later, we finally found a tree that'd be perfect for our living room.

The tree's elegant and simple -- decorated with our growing collection of angelic ornaments, a figure of a Bella-like pup, and of course a selection of white/silver/glitteresque globes.

And now we have that Christmas smell along with the source of it all.
