Merry Today

I have a couple of early morning pictures for you from my home. It all looks much better in real life, but I want to post a greeting and am busy sewing, so I don't gave anything to show except these. My kitchen is looking better and I've asked for new canisters to complete the look, but Mr. S. would rather I go get them myself and then tell everyone it is a gift from him. Does anyone else do that?

 I was delighted that nice songs are being put on signs, and this one is from the song "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas":

Tomorrow is Christmas in Australia. They are a day ahead of us. I've had several Australian Christmases and really enjoy their deliberate relaxation, which is part of their lifestyle.
