Tonight is 12th Night. Our Christmas tree waits to go to our “basement”—a storage cage two floors down.

What, No Christmas Album?
Asked The Google to play Cher’s Christmas album. Shocked to learn there isn’t one, so I signed a petition at change.org.
Deadfall Minnesota Cherrywood
Deadfall Minnesota cherrywood (our Christmas tree) never looked finer. The angel is a little the worse for wear.
Time to Decorate
Yesterday Dwight made mince pies. Today we decorated.
Two Floors Down
Walked down two floors to our storage cage (where we keep seasonal stuff).
Christmas Food, UK-Style
Enjoyed Christmas pudding, ice cream, and whipped cream. Later we had Christmas cake which a friend made in the UK and managed to get through customs.
Christmas Crackers
First Christmas gathering of the season at our nephews’ and their parents’ home. Our nephews had insisted on Christmas crackers (a British tradition). We’ve brought them up well.
British Seasonal Fare
British seasonal fare: Dwight made (sweet) mince pies and I made/assembled sausage rolls.
Decorations
These are our Christmas decorations. The marquee of The Guthrie, advertising “A Christmas Carol,” the “Gold Medal Flour” neon atop Mill City Museum, and the swoosh (lit path in Gold Medal Park) provide additional decoration. We will unbox our other decorations, Christmas 2019.
Wellington Urban Hike
On our Wellington urban hike: a glimpse of the ferry we took last night for a four-hour journey from the South Island.
