We Need a Little Christmas!

I love that song. It puts it all words, for me.
The transition from Fall holidays to Christmas prep is not a smooth one. You are tempted to put up a tree before you bought your turkey for Thanksgiving.

These are just a few of the things that I have created in the days before Thanksgiving.
Made from vintage dictionaries, they have that "Old Book" scent.  Mmmmm.
I get to save a book from the trash, and help it become beautiful, again.

Now, sing along with me?

Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now

For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet

Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry

So climb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of light I've ever seen
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough

For I've grown a little leaner
Grown a little colder
Grown a little sadder
Grown a little older

And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder
Need a little Christmas now

For we need a little music
Need a little laughter
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter

And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after"
Need a little Christmas now
