The Big Tree, An Ornament and A New FO

It's beginning to look a LITTLE Christmas-y here, still no snow though. I'm trying to get in the holiday mood. Here's our Value Village fake tree, all decked out in ornaments and lights:

Hmmm looks a wee bit crooked. And needs some packages underneath. Santa, are you listening?I thought my Santa ornament was my fave, but Mr. Snowman may have him beat. LOVE HIM! He is supposed to have a broom made from a 'cotton bud' (Q-Tip for us Americans) and yarn, but I don't know if I'll make that, seems very fiddly.


And a hat I knit yesterday. I found 2 skeins of "Minnow Merino" and they are so soft! Thought these "Dr. Seuss" colors would be great for one of the boys and maybe a bright colored hat wouldn't get lost the very first day.
