Christmas: Made In China

Check it out. Tree ornaments made in China. One point five metres of well dressed Christmas tree. The little ornament elves were busy and created a vision of Christmas that will carry us into the New Year. We were overwhelmed by the creativity and artistry of all the participants. It certainly got our Christmas spirit headed in the right direction.

There was little room to move in the living room but it did not stop the creative juices from flowing. Amazingly, no paper cuts, crazy glue miscues or scissor incidents marred the evening.
The winning ornament was an almost lifelike rendition of Santa Claus, complete with a fuzzy white beard found in a bottle of pills. We now have it proudly displayed on a wall in the kitchen. The tree is nicely tucked into the livingroom and ready for presents. I intend to uphold my annual tradition of doing all my shopping on Christmas Eve.
Eduardo, our Italian connection and Brian are organizing the Christmas dinner for the younguns and ourselves. Sounds like the Holiday Inn with a show and dancing after. We will enjoy Christmas day off. Nonie has reorganized her exams for this Friday and I have crammed mine into this Thursday so our Christmas morning will be free. To all our cinnamon bun recipients, we will be thinking of you all. I am hoping Nonie can work a miracle and buns will be waiting for me on Christmas morning.
