Christmas Preview

Today I went to my favorite craft store and was delighted to see that they have the autumn decoration on the shelves - the only way we have fall colors here in Florida. They also started putting out Christmas stuff. Ahhhh Christmas in July!!! It reminds me of Christmas in Brazil because it's summer there in December. So I decided to go ahead and post one Christmas card here for you. I'm not going to keep posting Christmas cards though. This one is more like a preview of what is yet to come. Enjoy.
