our nativity set. Bears, and etc.
Monthly Archives: December 2008
9549 – sunday
We also got a nativity set at the same time we picked up the tree.
Bears! View full size for maximum effect. We added some other items to the scene – Pye and Newton had to be there, and it spiraled out from there.
We went over to the in-laws for pancake breakfast after sleeping in nicely this morning. I had a bit of an allergy attack, had to head home – did some work-work stuff, folded some laundry and put lights on the tree while BHK did household work and made use quiche with cheese, veggie sausage and green peas… and some veggie sausage-biscuit balls, too. *VERY* tasty and hearty fare. The in-laws came over too, and we just hung out and chitty-chatted – watched some old episodes of Newheart and the Honeymooners on WGN – The in-laws are out the door now, and BHK is sleeping on my lap… but now it’s time for bed.
Until later, dear journal!

9548 – Saturday
It’s here! Minimum of muss and fuss. Shaun had his tree picked out and cut down before I even got there.
We introduced Shaun to "Crabs for Christmas", and a good time was had by all. After getting the tree up, we paused for some Chinese food – some of the best I’ve had. I think the secret to little panda is to not go on Sunday – I suspect that the regular cook takes that day off.
I was very fortunate that Larry brought his own saw – the one provided wasn’t up to snuff.
BHK figured out a good place for the tree, the far side of the living room. Traffic shouldn’t be too much of a problem there, and it smells so good!
Easy getting this year – measured twice, cut once – and then cut again when we got home, to fit and make fresh for water.
We got our tree. Not decorated yet, but I rather like it unadorned at the moment.
BHK, the in-laws and I watched "Love, Actually" and by that time, it was too late to hang lights or ornaments, which is fine by me!

9547 – Friday
Had an off-site meeting the bulk of the day today – informative, and interesting, but I think I’ll opt for the webinar version unless there is going to be any "networking" to be done.
Pleasantly surprised to see Shaun M on the bus ride home – we discussed going to get a Christmas tree tomorrow.
BHK made more pigs in blankets, and we all just sort of are crashing out now.
I’m looking forward to the new tannenbaum, as long as we can find a place to put it in our house.. now that we have the new couch, it’s hard to make room for something of that size.
holiday lights that seem to have the least to do with any known holiday. A little yellow fish in love with a yellow submarine.
I wish them both the best of luck.
