Minimal Christmas Tree
Stored our minimalistic Christmas tree in a mailing tube. It’s made from naturally fallen Minnesota timber: see post.
British Christmas Cake
Today: British Christmas cake baked by a friend visiting from the UK. Booze-fortified fruit cake, lots of marzipan, icing, evoked memories.

Pulled Christmas crackers containing flimsy paper hats, riddles and cheap plastic toys. A British tradition now available at Target stores.
