Christmas Season Begins

Dear Diary,

The Christmas season doesn't begin for me until I put up my wreath after the first Sunday of Advent.  I got this lovely wreath at Chamberlain Farm.  It is all hand-made by a local woman.  She even fashioned the grape vine wreath from her own wild grapes.  I will have to see if John can harvest some of my vines so I can make a wreath.  The skates are 60 years old and were given to my one Christmas many years ago.  Now, I can open the first day of my Advent Calendar!

ps. I have begun village construction!
