What do I have in my pocket?

One of the major projects I undertook this holiday season, besides relaxing like it was actually a thing to do, was to make a few pocket squares for myself. This was inspired by one or more of the menswear blogs I read regularly (I do not remember which, or I would point you, Gentle Reader, in the right direction). Luckily, my mother is a relatively accomplished seamstress, and so, I had plenty of guidance.  In addition, as I had discussed this possibility with her previously, my Christmas presents included some lovely flannel with which to begin.

Christmas Day Brunch (At Home)

Ah Christmas!
Early morning, Cinnamon coffee, family, and the joy of gift-giving. Also, Christmas brunch.  Often, my Aunt does such a thing, inviting to many family members, and feeding us to the point of severe discomfort. Glorious.  Alas, she is out of town this holiday season, and so, we fended for ourselves. All told I feel we made a good showing of ourselves.
