Menu planning? Check.
Chocolate covered cherries? Check.
Today Wireless came over and constructed this year's version of the nativity scene. Again, as has previously been mentioned, this is a very definitely small "c" catholic (definition 2) display. Our only intention is to be all inclusive.
New this year are William Shakespeare and a bread deliveryman, aka on the packaging as livraison du pain (I think Wireless may have acquired this figure in Quebec). I think this might possibly be the first appearance in this particular context of the pink flamingo. There is an alien area, there is a men of science area, and there is a sports guy area. I believe it probably goes without saying that the mice are present and that there is a Snow White and the Seven Dwarves area. And R2D2.
Late edit:
The tree, final version featuring a nice bunch of gaily wrapped gifts:
Joyous Festivus to all.

The best nativity scene ever. Thanks, Wireless. The cranberry bread is pretty great, also.
Well, you say it's a small "c" celebration, but it looks like a capital C nativity to me. I believe it was on the 9th night that the wild animals came to visit the Baby in his manger. Inclusiveness is applauded from here. (Sound of clapping.) I like that the flamingo is a bird of color, as they say.
You look set for a pretty nice Christmas. Errr -- Festivus? Solstice? Seasons Greetings to all.
Let me know what was in that gold package with the red bow -- the shape of the package is interesting.
Nice nativity scene. I like the fact that there are now separate areas for different types of characters. The flamingo is a nice touch.
Merry Christmas. We'll be seeing you soon.
