I also made cards and cookies for friends. The recipe for the cookies is still a work-in-progress (must be GF/DF), but they turned out pretty cute.
Christmas 2018 - Still in Scotland!
It's hard to believe, but it's our 4th holiday season in Edinburgh! We decided to celebrate with a real Christmas tree this year. Of course, when you live in a city, the tree you choose is determined by the weight of the tree and how far you're willing to carry it. Stan found the perfect tree - a live tree (already has a pot/stand) that is just big enough to be a real tree, but small enough to fit into a taxi... and our flat. It's more of a Christmas bush; we're calling it 'The Wee Tree.'![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v8XegA9t7-cjJ0rcbkuIcnJ0fU87cz2O_hxqQxQbpu9s2RpfceFm2CHe1DaYkvt6Agq0ymOB-RvaiyD6KMivxXaDEFwWc18sm_eqSon92SphKmybxvZuQCKg=s0-d)
It's the perfect size to hold our wee collection of decorations (not many). And I bought a portable electric light that has rainbow shades. I meant to use it for the dining table, but it does fun things under the tree - yellow, green, red, purple light shines up into the branches. It's a mood tree - HA!

Of course, the entire city is lit up for the holidays, so we get to enjoy decorations everywhere, including at the Waverly train station. The city is simply a wonderful extension of our home, so it's a great way to get in the Christmas spirit!![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t-M5KX5gw7cDM-I6YLzIGHcdE8q8zC8YWQdLXM0_e6xb9EOi7wommLEUTbSK4keskponPuzc1cB0Ub5qjlbhX_npPsyl1of2Fts-yJYK0-NTi4S3Dww7gpyBa0Q2eT=s0-d)
