The Last of Christmas 2008

Just a few last photos from the fading holiday:

Lilly mucks about with the tiny tree.

Andy and Lilly divvy up the loot.

The upstairs tree. It sits in a weird little hallway above the foyer.

The fireplace with its decoration of Pipka Santas.

And that's all folks!! No more Christmas photos until 2009!!!

Christmas Morning!

Christmas 2008!

As I write this, it's eleven minutes until Christmas Day, 2008. So I got some photos of the tree loaded down with Christmas loot. We should all be quite happy in the morning. We'll open presents, eat some breakfast, rest up, then drive across the county to see Andy's grandmother to have Christmas dinner at her place. Over the river and through the woods and all that sort of rot.



At any rate, we had a right pretty tree this year. I love the holidays. As long as I've had people to share it with, I've had a lot of fun during this part of the year. The lonely times...well, it sucks ass to be alone during Thanksgiving and Christmas.




Well, here she is:

And in natural light.

Gettin' ready!

I love Christmas. Always have. We tend to have a really good time during the winter Holidays. Unlike some folk, I actually get a kick out of the excess. We have a wonderful time with the tree. Everything from picking it out to decorating it. This year, Carole and I did the decorating together. We're not quite finished, but here she is as of this evening.
