starting to feel a lot like X'mas

crowded tree

Mari's done a stellar job of X'mas as with everything this year. It's our first year with a phony tree but I for one don't really miss the mess and expense and I suspect that growing trees for single use and disposal is going to go away in the climate changey future.

Tonight, "Aunt" Yagu is coming over to spend X'mas with us. Sadly, The Girl still has to go to school but happily I've the day off tomorrow and the sixty-hour weeks are over.
