With a Ho Ho here, and a Ho Ho there....

Well, we're officially in the Christmas spirit. After a good Thanksgiving dinner, and before a post-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner, we went out and cut down our Christmas tree. I'll put some photos up later of the tree - it's a good one!

We got most of our interior decorations up this weekend, including our new Christmas village. It looks like fun up at the North Pole ;)

The "helicopter" shot - our whitish walls don't lend themselves good to pictures like this.


While the elves ice skate in the center, the polar bears are hoppin' on the hill, while Santa is inspecting the Igloo construction company.

Even the elves need to take a little time off from making the games to have a little fun themselves.

And of course, Santa's house is busy, and they are preparing the flight plan :)


I think the best part of Christmas is how it brings out the child in all of us. Now, Sharon may argue that my child never goes away, but it truly is a special and blessed time of year, isn't it?
