65/365: I bought this Advent wreath a few years ago because it was pretty and on sale, but I have rarely used it.  I decided to shoot some pictures of it lit up, mostly because I want to put images like this on Getty, if I can.  But I also like to set up shots like this.  I’ve been doing it a lot for the 365 project.

66/365: The fifth night of Hanukkah.  I really like my new menorah, and it looks pretty neat with the living room furnishings.

67/365: I took an earlier image of oranges on a red tablecloth and loved it, and when my dad gave me a sack of oranges to take home, I couldn’t help but set this up with a green Fiestaware bowl on my red plaid Christmas tablecloth with the green wall of the kitchen nook right behind.  It looked so good together!

68/365: I bought this IKEA candleholder set many years ago, and it’s usually the centerpiece on the kitchen table.  Sometimes I trade out the tealights for different colors.  Right now, they’re all green.

69/365: I was home for lunch, and how fortunate that was!  Snow was falling but not sticking until I’d been there for awhile, and right before I left to go back to work, I realized that it was sticking to the trees and branches in the backyard in a lovely fluffy way.  Consequently, I was late getting back to work after lunch.

70/365: A little vignette of vintage items on my kitchen counter.  The radio works.  I love the cork pencil holder, which rotates on its little stand.

71/365: The snow at my parents’ house lasted through the weekend.  I like the tracks.

72/365: A friend of mine made some gingerbread cookies and shared them with me.  I took this photo before I ate them all up.

73/365: I got this as a present years ago after I pointed it out and said, “I want that.”  I love having it out all year, but I put it in a special place during Christmas, because it reminds me of Charlie Brown’s tree, bending over.  I think of it as the grown-up version of Charlie Brown’s tree.
