Detox and Decorate

I'm puffy.  Everywhere.  I've consumed too much fat, sugar, meat, and alcohol and stayed up past my bedtime three nights in a row.  It was worth it, but I'm on the wagon for a while.

We've slowly begun the Thanksgiving to Christmas transition in our house.  We have a kissing ball and carolers.

I managed to throw some coffee berries in a vase and ensure there's

plenty of seasonal food on hand - every variety of M&Ms ever created. 

I prefer Dark Chocolate, Plain M&M's.  Chris likes Dark Chocolate, Peanut.  We

have a few other flavors, so please stop by and pick your poison.  We've also placed our dancing Santa on the mantel... with care.

We purchased our Christmas tree and it's resting peacefully, and naked, in our family room.  I decided I kind of like the tree naked.

Our last decoration (for now) is an important reminder to everyone...

...and one I'm considering leaving right where it is - all year long.  Maybe if I look at this once in a while, my detoxing days will become a Ghost of Christmas Past.
