The little tree had been sitting naked for a week, but Monday, the keeper not only put lights on the outside of the house in the rain, but dragged in all the decorations from the garage and covered the little tree with them and with lights. Now it is decked for partying! She tried to tell us about each decoration, where it came from--country of origin, person who made it, etc. We grew bored, and played with the unused options on the floor. We only broke one-it was a cat made out of glass. She gets sooo into this once she starts. We have Christmas music now, and candles and creches all over. The creche below is our favorite. She puts nuns and flamenco dancers and manatees and guerilla fighters and shepherds and turtles and geese and lambs and hippos at the crib. We like the universality of it all. Every year it needs more space. So far, there is no cat yet, but there are no dogs either. Maybe next year. Maybe next year there will be a zhu zhu hamster! I forgot--Alice reminded me that we decided we will give our donation to Whisker City instead. SO no hamsters for the creche!
