Tag! You're it!

Here's a tag for all of you. What did Santa bring you? Put it on your blog and leave a comment here, so I can check it out!

I'll start. On Christmas morning, I received:

--A red Le Creuset tagine (which I've wanted forever)
--Espresso spoons (12)
--Electric handmixer
--Wind-up alarm clock
--Kitchen timer

Now, for your edification...

...more pics from my holiday home.

Even more Fitz and Floyd (with my beautiful little bronzes by Onelio Marrero)


My nativity set (made by my paternal grandmother)


My foyer (featuring the only houseplant that ever survived my tender care, Jolene the peace lily)


My kitchen table (more holly!)

Here I am...

...looking rather silly (and sans make-up) in my little elf hat that lights up.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

...at Min's house. A few pics from of my decorations:



My Christmas Time tree (yes, I forgot the tree skirt):


Close-ups views:






More pics from my house. First, the den mantelpiece (I cut the holly, myself!):




Some of my Fitz and Floyd (and my keys):


Some more of my Fitz and Floyd:


The dining room table (yes, there are nudes throughout my house):




The glass Christmas tree forest in the living room:


And these are the decorations I did for the office foyer:








And the office Christmas tree (I don't know why the pics are so dark):




I blame Mike for all the Fitz and Floyd. He collects the Santas and Nutcrackers, and I just fell in love with them, so I started collecting some of the teapots and cookie jars.

Ho, ho, ho!
