My husband shops on Fridays at Haymarket in Boston on his way home from work. It is an outdoor market and today was a cold day so there were plenty of deals. It is about 20 degrees with the windchill factor outside here and the ocean wind is howling a bit around the house. We managed to have a beautiful dinner for two for around $3.00 tonight. Our live tree we bought for $12 is decorated with our treasured vintage ornaments and we have candles in every window in the house. So we are snuggling up for the Christmas Season in high style!
