Our First Christmas Tree

...is already a few sprigs short. Since we're going to be out of town for Christmas and live in a small apartment, we have no need for a full-size tree. To bring in the festive spirit, I found the perfect little tabletop rosemary bush at Whole Foods and decorated it with snowflake-shaped brads! It's adorable, fills the apartment with a warm piney aroma, and will season many meals to come. It has already found its way into a batch of chicken stock and chestnut stuffing. I don't often use rosemary, but now that it's growing in our living room, I can't wait to start playing with it!
