We had a real good christmas. Although Michiel was upset yesterday, when I reminded him we had yet another party to go to. A little too much social life for the husband, and it's not even done today, tonight we'll have people over ourselves. Anyway, I thought I'd just blog a bunch of pictures. The top one is the saddest christmas tree in town. It's a homeless person's spot, in the park where we walk Orbit. Second is our tree. I didn't feel like christmas before Otger's birthday, so I was late. And while in doubt about whether to get one or not, I noticed the neighborhood school had thrown one in their garbage container. Piffin and I took pity on the poor garbage tree, and my dear daughter schlepped it home. Of course it sheds worse than Orbit, so it has to stay outside. We're the only house on the street with a porch tree! The third photo is Zanny's christmas present. It's the scale model of Otger's bunk bed that Michiel made. Piffin and I made the bed linens and she painted it. Doesn't it look just too lovely? Also in the photo is my dear old computer :-( and Piffin and me in pajamas. One down from there the condominium building where we spent christmas day celebrating a birthday. And at the bottom our dear old own neighborhood, vibrant and alive no matter which holiday. Yay chinatown, all shops open.
