This is the time of year when the oranges ripen, get their color and become ready to eat. The grand kids can't wait to pick, peel and eat a juicy navel orange. 
(the neighbors cat just likes to rub up against the leaves)While most people are shoveling snow, we Arizonans in the Valley of the Sun squeeze our backyard citrus for juice, plant pansies in the garden, and decorate the Christmas tree.
I have a naked "Charlie Brown" tree waiting in the front room for lights and ornaments...
I know, I know it's two weeks until Christmas!I am making a dent in my to do list though...I finished my Christmas Cards and have most of them addressed..now if only I can remember to get down to the Post Office and buy stamps !
