This planting of poinsettias is so cheerful, and it really put me in the mood for Christmas. Rich has been reciting a Christmas countdown to me every day since before Thanksgiving. We have several countdowns: one for the number of working days left (9!), one for the days till Christmas (18!), and one for the days left till The Hobbit movie is released (8!) I can’t wait for a glorious two weeks off from work. Time for photography, woo hoo!
