Today I'm doing Christmas things. I just finished making some cinnamon=

on with raffia. I hand cut a lot of the cinnamon -applesauce ones with a
knife rather than use a cookies cutter. When their dry I put a little
white glue and glitter on them. Just not too much.
We also finally got out and cut down our Christmas tree. We always get
a concolor fir. I love the way they smell, like an orange. This year's
tree has a very blue cast to it. Some years they look more green, some
years more blue.

Never heard of that fir. I'll need to google it.
We always get a balsam fir now -
- scotch pines when I was a kid.
Only once or twice - an awful spruce.
Once a white pine - shame to cut it, but
we were a little desperate that year.
Have a Merry, all.
