Some Christmas Eve Shots

Judy knows this gift of catnip-filled rat is for her.























Our Christmas tree on Christmas Eve: I noticed a ornament I picked up while living in the UAE of the crescent moon (right side of the tree-it's green). As today is Christmas Day and the start of Eid approaches, it further reminds me of the importance of celebrating our sameness.

Happy Vacations!

I got this from Coldwell Banker in Egypt. Clearly I gave them my email at some point. My God, is that Christmas Tree in the foreground? Do I see a church? Isn't the snowman an early representation of Christ? Everyone knows that Christians have cornered the market on snow and sledding and general Rockwellian things (Norman Rockwell, that is).

Happy Festivus, Folks! Eid Mubarak! !Feliz Navidad! Happy Cholidays! Seasons greetings! Happy Kwanza! Happy Chanukah!
