Today is December 1st

It is cold here in Chicagoland. Of course I frequently comment on the weather. Currently contemplating my third cup of morning coffee; For the fist year I purchased an Aldi coffee pod Advent calendar! And I retrieved the advent wreath

candles for my mother! Here's hoping she lets me pose one of my Frankenstein decorations next to her nativity manger; for five mintues please. 😉 She is leaving said manger to me in her will; I am now however an atheist! I will treat the possession with respect and subsequently bequeath it to my youngest niece!
