Advent is here: Fran goes to quite a bit of trouble effort and gets a lot of joy out of finding stocking stuffer's. Nothing expensive, just small things that she thinks the recipients will appreciate.

Only four little feet trampled in last evening, plus there is Carters who will get his as he passes through on way home on Tuesday. 

Advent is a nice little custom [I leave the religious side out of it] that the people stick to up here. Many have a tree specially for advent, then another for Christmas. 

A big deal and pride is taken in "hunting" for a nice tree.

We don't have a tree inside but have some lights on a tree outside.

Happy Advent everyone.
