We started about 9:00 this morning and as of noon Christmas is pretty much gone… in its place are bags of garland, naked trees awaiting their turn in the elevator on their way to the attic, and lots of boxes of debris…
Even with time off for the holidays, taking time to dust, sweep and clean the house should be back together by early January.
Today we have Thomas Nast’s 1863 “Union Army” Santa… Our beloved President Lincoln was not above using Santa for his own purposes… How would the little southern rebel children feel if Santa didn’t cross the Mason-Dixon line…
On other issues… I put more photos of Peru in the album. You can view all the pictures at Picassa (another Google product of course…)
Of course, we need an appropriate quote…
“Its not over till its over and you throw away the tree…” from Laughton Wainwright III’s Suddenly its Christmas
Bye for now, and Merry Christmas, Randy
