myPics: Haul out the holly

I love the holidays.  I still believe that if you have a good Halloween then you're set until Mardi Gras!  Yuletide is the biggest high point for me during this Holiday period.  I'm a strong advocate of decorating for Christmas immediately after Thanksgiving and keeping it up until Epiphany.

  Here's a detail of the tree in the apartment during the day.

This year the tree is decked out in a wintry theme of gold, silver, white and cerulean. Icicles and faceted jems spread glow in the daylight and in the tree lights as well.  The shiny balls reflect the shine and create a festive look that's reminiscent of the delightful chill of a good hibernal night.
