'tis the season....
It totally feels like Christmas in my house right now. We're getting out all the decorations. It's definitely not the same as years past, considering Troy's gone and none of us kids are really that enthused with all of the traditions and sappy family togetherness, but it's still good. Jacob and my father are going to the states so that Jake can get surgery, so there are only going to be three of us actually at home. We'll have to make do.
This little dude is probably my favorite decoration we have. His name is Deiter. You probably can't tell too well from the picture, but he's a little German wooden elderly man sitting on a tree stump, holding a frothy mug of beer, a pretzel, and smoking a pipe. You can take him off of the stump and put a little incense cone thingy on it and then put him over it and the smoke comes out through a little whole in his mouth, making it look like he's actually smoking his pipe.
Not exactly the best example for the word of wisdom, I know, but he's so cute and weird.
I try to remember the real best part of Christmas, though.
Happy almost birthday, Jesus!
