Weird and Merry Christmas 2018

A good Christmas gathering.  Our family is growing and the average age has dropped a bit with another grandchild and as a bonus, a pre-Christmas engagement.  With the younger spirits, and all the kids old enough to enjoy other kinds of spirits, Christmas has gotten to be more fun.  Also stranger...

The traditional cookies and milk left out for Santa.  The green critter is a poorly executed T. Rex.

On the other hand I am rather proud of this "Poison Arrow Frog" cookie.

It is a longstanding tradition that our family puts up a tacky Christmas diorama in the neighbor's side yard.  This year's theme was "Christmas in a tough part of town."

You park your Barbie Jeep in the wrong neighborhood and who knows what might happen to it!

Evidently Santa runs a "chop shop" on the side....

Dissolute Gnomes hanging out...

That was all done Christmas Eve.  Christmas morning featured the usual family stuff and a new tradition....Mimosas made with champagne after the latter was opened "sabre style"!

A Merry, if mostly saner, Holiday season to all of you.
