It's Christmas Eve!

 

And a cold and snowy one it is here in New Hampshire!

It snowed overnight and in fact snowed most of Christmas Eve morning.  Yesterday we woke to below-zero temperatures, but it's "warmer" today -- 15º when we got up and all the way up to 20º now, at 11 am.  The snow has stopped now and blue skies are emerging, so Mr. T has gone out to plow.

So far most of the day has been devoted to some deep cleaning in our bedroom (on my hubby's part) some vacuuming under the bed and rearranging of what's stored there.  He turned the mattresses and changed the sheets while he was at it.  It seems maybe an unnecessary effort on a busy day, but I'm actually glad he did it, as much of our Christmas wrapping paper is stored in underbed totes, and I'll be working on that as soon as I finish writing this post!

I took the opportunity to sort out some things to donate and to throw some older craft efforts of mine away.  Decluttering is going to begin in earnest the day after Christmas!

After lunch Mr. T will make some cookie deliveries and a quick stop at the grocery store.  I plan to make some kitchen gifts and do some wrapping of gifts.  

For tonight,  I will make a nice simple supper and we will have a quiet evening at home.  Maybe set up our nativity scene and then possibly watch a classic Christmas movie.

Happy Christmas Eve to all of you, my readers and friends!
