Christmas time in the city

Just like in America, London is lit up with Christmas lights--Oxford Circus has fake snow that falls!

I wanted to get in the spirit (and everyone who knows me knows that I love Christmas) so I deccorated my room. My mom sent me some garland and some holiday window stickers that I put up the moment they arrived. Yesterday, Joe and I went to Ikea on errands and saw a little tiny potted tree. Its only about 12" tall but its in a little pot and looks lovely with the red glass balls that I decorated it with. It sits on my new coffee table and my room now looks like a room! On my window sill is a flower stalk thing that looks like a bird of paradise but doesn't have roots. It just needs water, like bamboo. Amazing that a table and plants can tie a room together, but they do!
