Morning View

The alarm went off just before 4 am this morning as usual....I walk through the living room and this is pretty much how I view the world until I get a shower and a couple cups of coffee in me. I took this picture of our Christmas tree reflecting in the front window and actually I did intentionally blur it just for kicks. It's a busy day today so I'm posting this early even though it's a bit weird because I may not have a chance to do anything else.
