Quick Takes #2.5

Last night was the first fire of the year.  We have a real wood burning fireplace in our house, just like the one that my parents have at their house.  I LOVE the sound of a sizzling, crackling fire.  Ahhh, that sound means comfort to me.

I know that the statement I am about to type will inflame many people in the world, but I am writing it anyway.  I am listening to Christmas music while I type this.  J and I are really funny about Christmas music.  It makes us smile and it puts both of us in a great mood.  So ever since our first year of marriage, after Halloween we play Christmas music at our house.  The only real downside is that the day after Christmas J is done with the Christmas music.  I, however, could listen to it until Twelfth night.

I just finished Margaret George's Henry VIII.  I love historical fiction.  If anyone has any recommendations please leave a comment.  I am an avid reader and would love a suggestion or two.

Ivan was Harry Potter for Halloween and he was absolutely adorable (humbly says his mother).
