Christmas Prep Preview

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I constructed what I imagined would be a Christmas wreath from the pages of a crappy book that had otherwise been intended for Goodwill.  In the end, perhaps it doesn't look particularly Christmas-y, but I think it will do very well as a year-round decoration.  What do you think?

(I got the idea for this wreath, by the way, from this blog.)

This weekend, I think, the actual Christmas decorations will go up.  Since Bryan and I have few--and we don't want to buy any more until the after-Christmas clearance sales--I'm getting creative to ensure our home is nevertheless filled with ample and evident Christmas cheer!
