Holiday picks

I cannot believe it's November already! Ah, the holidays are approaching fast as my local mall spruces up for Santa's arrival....

They were chiseling and carving this holiday scene out of a huge mound of dirt/clay....pretty cool!

As for holiday fashion, I'm seeing lots of plaid, furs, black and gold, and I'm still wanting a red dress!

But a more practical clothing item I'm wishing for is a Tartan or Scotch Plaid shirt...inspired by another James Tissot painting:

The Warrior's Daughter (c.1878)
