On the fourth day of Christmas we are full of cheese and leftover olives, watching the holiday episodes of our favorite shows, putting away the spoils of the season, resting, and reading out stories from MURDER FOR CHRISTMAS while I craft.

On day three of Christmas (really more like two and a half) we watch Black Christmas (1974) with nothing but the multicolored lights on and Brady’s (the real ones know) in our favorite winter mug before everyone else is awake.
