Yesterday’s first snowfall inspired me to hang holiday lights today. We won’t switch them on until after Thanksgiving.

UK Christmas Cake
We enjoyed marzipan-topped, Armagnac-soaked fruit cake: Christmas cake made by a friend visiting from the UK.
Background Check
Walked past a sad Christmas tree, then peed in a cup as part of a background check.
Flight to North Pole
Well, the things you learn. Delta flies to the North Pole. (We saw two pilots decorating gate C5.)
Elaborate Yard Nativity Scene
Walked past a reminder for the season: yes, the garden hose should be disconnected in this freezing weather.
On the 13th Day of Christmas…
On the 13th day of Christmas, my true love went to work and I went to LAX where I’m waiting for a flight to Lihu’e.
Seasonal Sincerity
A holiday card arrived in today’s mail from Xcel Energy (electric utility). OMG, I didn’t send them a card.
Mince Pie Production
Mince pies awaiting tops.
Ready for Decorating
Our tree, ready for decorating. Minnesota made, naturally fallen timber.
Homemade Holiday Lights
Soldered LEDs, resistors, and wires. Next week, we’ll use these lights to build Christmas ornaments with our nephews.
