Christmas Has Arrived at Our House!

Christmas spirit is in full swing in our house!  Last weekend we decorated for Christmas and it has been non-stop carols on our speakers.  As some people know, I have longed for a Christmas tree for many years, but our house in Falls Church was just too small.  I am so excited to have a tree!

Over the past two weeks, we also went to two different work holiday parties - which were each fun and distinctly British.  Last night, as part of one of the parties, we went to see a pantomime, a British Christmas tradition.  It was a child-oriented play (in our case, Aladdin) that included major audience participation (lots of yelling from the audience) and lots of over exaggerated scenes.  It was very cute and a good time was had by all.

Our little Christmas tree, slowly, but surely being filled with ornaments from our travels



Our decorated mantel!  This is definitely my favorite part of having an elegant old house!



Christmas crackers and Christmas hats at the Christmas party - how very British! 


And, of course, our favorite Christmas elf helping to decorate:
