You Know its Christmas When.....

The stockings are hung....





















The count down is on....






















The Christmas tree is up and shining....





















The smell of cookies is in the air....
















Countless hours of Christmas shopping are done....(with many more to go!)















The snow markers are up on the roads....(yes it snow that much here!!)




















And the bags are packed for home!!!
