Holiday Spirit
It seems that we're taking a slow start with the holiday trappings. I only put up the lights this weekend and I'm relieved that I didn't fall off the roof (there was some NyQuil involved). I must say that they look mighty fine against our new house paint. And Jennifer's choice of green trim conveniently disguises the extension cords.
We finished our Advent Wreath just in time to light the first candle, and now have three of them burning, which means that Christmas is almost around the corner. Speaking of Advent Wreaths -- it was almost impossible to find the right candles. How hard would it be to offer some 2x3" tapers in a few different colors without them being scented?
I think we'll wait with a tree until the week of Christmas. There just isn't much time right now, and it will be nice to have Meredith help with the decorating. So most of our Christmas stuff is still in the shed. The only exception is the magnetic nativity set that we bough last time we were in Prague. It's gracing the vent above the stove, much to Magda's enjoyment.

Hello, wonderful blog you have set up. I was wondering if you would be able to tell me where you got the wonderful magnetic nativity set in Prague. Do you have a store name? Thanks very much.

I bought the nativity set at a booth in the Christmas Market on St. Wenceslas Square in Prague. I don't remember seeing it in any "regular" store and the package doesn't have a company name on it, either.
BTW, the figures are maybe two or three inches tall.
