The market is by an old church/monastery (that is now a museum) that was run by "barefoot friars." For some reason I think they were Franciscan.
We dipped pretzels in almond bark, and sprinkled them ever-so-delicately...or not...we kinda dumped the sprinkles on. But that's what happens when you let Chad and me do it.
Close up of my folk art painting titled "Christmas Eve". Highly textured using collage papers, acrylic paint, chalk, etc.
Some more Christmas pictures with my hamsters, with the Christmas lantern. :)
Only Willy and Myrtille this time as Leonard was tired.
Christmas Cheer Chore
There are two things I don't like about Christmas.
The first is that Christmastime ends.
The second is writing Christmas cards! It's such a chore. I hate doing it.
Can't we switch to Christmas emails? It would save a lot of paper (and time).
But at least I'm one day ahead of last year! Take note the date.

Christmas lights near Yakima, Washington. I wish I would have remembered to take my tripod. The fog didn't help either. IMG_5629
A few more photos of our Christmas lights and decorations. I would welcome any tips on taking photos of Christmas lights/night photos. This is the back side of the house. Mt Juliet, Tn.
CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait — Soldiers from the 1st Theater Sustainment Command and the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) participated in various social and spiritual activities to celebrate the holiday season.
On Christmas Eve hundreds of service members, Department of Defense civilians and contractors gathered at a hangar decked out for the holidays. Put together by 1st TSC and 143d ESC Soldiers along with the helping hands of Morale, Welfare and Recreation employees, the event included a buffet dinner, a visit from St. Nicholas and a secret Santa gift exchange in front of a Christmas tree. Several Soldiers and civilians demonstrated their singing or dancing skills on stage during a “Camp Arifjan’s Got Talent” show judged by members of the 143d ESC’s junior enlisted ranks.
Though the celebration generated much laughter and applause from the lively crowd, some Soldiers opted to spend Christmas Eve at a more solemn venue.
Chaplains and chaplain assistants deployed to Camp Arifjan hosted a Christmas Eve vigil at the post chapel that evening. The nondenominational Christian service wove scripture readings and traditional Christmas carols before the congregation brought the service to its climax as it illuminated the chapel with hundreds of lit candles.
The celebration continued the next day with a 5k run and a Christmas feast served by the 1st TSC and 143d ESC’s senior leadership at Camp Arifjan’s Dining Facilities. The 143d ESC also hosted a barbecue lunch as well as various sporting activities such as volleyball and cornhole.

So, Eurobricks is having another Christmas raffle. This year's theme was "Your Ideal Christmas Tree."
I whipped this together with Lego Digital Designer in just a few minutes, then rendered it with POV-Ray.
Thankfully, the quality of the creations is not an issue, which means even this has a chance at winning something.
Thank goodness.
Anyway, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.
And may ya'll never forget the real reason for the season in the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
An estate sale today yielded all this stuff! Christmas galore, vintage children's books,a delicate miniature set of nesting baskets with lids, and more! They didn't have the Christmas ornaments out yet so I was the first to get a go. I LOVE Christmas stuff! My favourites are the international doll ornaments and the 10" Holt Howard feathery angel.
