Merry Christmas 2010!

I apologize for the fuzziness on this one.

Yes, that is a light up arc you walk under.
And note the string of lights up the flagpole
with the giant snowflake on top.  lol

The fuzziness in this case is to be considered as mitigating circumstances.

I guess that when the reindeer
get sick, he goes to a balloon.

A balloon??

I fail to see the Xmas connection....

Thanks Chuck, that was great! It's always good to start your day with a laugh!

Back home. We didn't stay as long as usual because it started to snow heavily yet again. Half of the drive was tricky again, but as soon as we crossed the Rhine into our federal country, the snowfall stopped.

Guess what I got from my BIL? A package of Starbucks coffee, Christmas edition!
He said I mentioned it last year, so he got it for me this year (they have a Starbucks shop, we don't). I'll happily try my first Starbucks Christmas coffee tomorrow.

Totally unromantic pic of my wheelie bins. But you can see how much snow we have:



Snow galore.

When did purple lights become Christmasy?

In neck of the woods?  When you're a TCU hornfrogs fan - colors are purple and white.  And yes, among the ritzy mansions in my part of town, one house had a huge banner in front of their house, trees encircled by purple Xmas lights, wishing everyone a "Happy Holidays and a Go Hornfrogs Year!"

Amazing.  Today here, it's sunny, and the bright sunlight illuminates the dead, yellow grass, and gray bare tree branches.     Even your trash bins look more festive than what we have.

I took these pics of the Columbia River Gorge while we were driving home from spending 'Christmas' with my family last weekend:
