Plaids for decorating

Never realized I used so many plaids at Christmas,

especially in my kitchen.

and plaid-like textiles in the mudroom

it's cold out there...

As the song goes "Baby it's cold out There!" Makes me nostalgic about skating again.
This holiday I decorated my doors with skates, perfect to keep up all winter long. On the side door, above, hang my actual skates from when I was a teen.

My skates had big red rabbit fur pompoms with a bell on top, loved them! The bells alerted everyone at the Somerset Marsh that I had another tumble. The fur ones are long gone so I added these red pompoms.

Any skating stories you care to share?
