Mini-Tree

Experts recommend to start planning for and thinking about the holiday's starting in late September, mid-October. This, they claim, provides ample time to think about what you want to get and keep your eye out for the best deals on the years hottest gifts and most lavish decorations. Although I suppose I am a bit behind schedule I finally got around to buying a tree. Now, I sadly must admit that I sold out to a fake tree but under the circumstances, I'm sure you will understand.

Here she is, standing proudly at 1ft, 1inch, this little guy has brought so much light into our lives.



Additionally, I ventured out into the world of popcorn decorations:

Step one: Pop popcorn. I recommend staying away from the butter and salty flavors because it tends to attract buggies!



Step two: Thread the popcorn with sewing thread and needle. Make sure the popcorn is cold and I would recommend it even be a bit on the stale side.



Step three: Carefully wrap around tree. Add white lights and a glittery gold bow at the top.



Optional: Presents wrapped in brown paper bags for a complete classic look !

Winter Wonderland!

Saba's mom, the lovely Khlaeh Gulhan arrived on Friday and she brought us lots of goodies. And she took a picture to prove it !



We went and saw the Nutcracker, a Moeel/Khoshab annual tradition (that just started this year!) It was a freezing night! Many speculated snow !!






And they were riiiight! We woke up this morning to the first SNOW of the season!!!
Here is a video I took in the morning from my bedroom window. Look closely and you can see the flakes falling !
