Not much snow. Not much shopping, and what little there is consists of watching the porch for Amazon boxes. Scaled back family gatherings. It does not feel like Christmas.
But we have a nice tree, made nicer by virtue of having been cut on our son's property after receiving grandkid approval.
True, the number of presents under it is minimal in this week before picture. I admit to not being totally Good. Also, if you've been following along on recent adventures you'll recall that Prancer is not going to show up for work this year....
We won't even have the usual crew on hand to set up a bizarre Christmas Tableau in the neighbor's yard. Ah well, we make do with the resources at hand. Sometimes a bit of additional recon can help. Here's our guy working the stakeout from the concealment of our garage. He's watching those next door types. Watching them very closely...
The additional complexity of travel and quarantine issues means that we won't really be exchanging gifts. Much. I don't think. There will be a gathering in mid January where we hope to have all the seats at the table filled.....and I hear rumors that there might even be an extra chair pulled up.
Best wishes to you all in this odd season. May as many of your chairs be filled as possible and may any surprises you encounter be of the pleasant sort. And be Good. You know we are watching.

Tonight>tomorrow's nasty weather might ruin any plans for a No Snow Tableau theme.
Plans are in flux for a variety of reasons. Maybe it will be a mid January tableau this year.
